great fun, lots of bites
4 of us fished in a 2 hour trip about 2 miles out to sea. We got about 90 minutes continuous fishing and we caught a load of edible grunts as well as several other species like toadfish, lizard fish, ladyfish (which was one that got away but what a lively sleek fish that thrashes around and leaps out of tbe water), puffer fish, a 17 inch red grouper and a coupe of other different grouper species. very diverse waters. we asked for the best chance to catch edible species and that is exactly what we got. Jason kept us very busy with nonstop rebaiting and handling the continuous catches we were landing and moved short distances when necessary to make sure we never stopped fishing. We eventually bagged about 40 grunts, deceptively strong small fish that he expertly gutted, de-boned and filleted back at shore and we must have caught a total of double that as Jason threw back what we couldnt take home. We left with enough fish to make fish tacos we will cook tonight for 13 people rocking up at our villa in Kissimmee. I would strongly recommend Jason not just for his knowledge, personality and help but for his passion in wanting us to have a great time. His instructions and advice were easy to follow and if you have youngsters who want to experience fishing in the Gulf, this would be perfect, particularly landing a grunt that feels far syronger than its size would imply. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed the trip and we are looking at a 4 hour trip for shark which we ate trying to fit in during our 3 week stay. Hopefully we can. Thanks Jason for a memorable experience.
