    (6 Hour Trip – Offshore Reef & Wreck)

    Good trip with a good captain

    This was my gfs first trip and my 3rd we caught a lot of fish but only a couple were of legal limit nevertheless we had an amazing time we ended with 2lbs of red snapper and 2lbs of rainbow runner but we got to catch several other species of fish we appreciate the captain having patience with us as my gf was inexperienced with fishing and I for the first time was so nauseous I could barely stand we will definitely be back and hopefully less dolphin interference next time lol

    (Full Day Fishing)

    Great trip!!!

    Wanted multiple species and Kevin delivered. Kevin ask what we would like to fish for I told him we were more interested in catching different fish, not just the typical trout and red fish. Although we did catch trout and red fish, we also caught Cobia, grouper, flounder, mackerel, hogfish, grunts, a shark, and various non target species. We knew several species were out of season, we just wanted the experience. Kevin made it happen.

    (full day deep sea offshore)

    Best Fishing Trip ever!!!

    This is the best fishing trip I've ever been on. Capt. Jose and his team worked so hard to get all the fish we wanted. The boat was so clean and had plenty of space—100% recommended.

    Fanatastic time!

    We came for the day to go fish with Captain Tony and it was great! Tony was reallt friendly, very kind and courteous, and just a great guy! He helped out kids reel in fish and definitely made sure we had a great time and that we all caught fish. we caught 4 Red Snapper!! He took us back and cleaned and fileted all the fish for us too! We would definitely do this again and recommend it to anyone that loves fishing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cobia fishing is all about power, sight, and surprise. Cobia are prized game fish known for strong runs and stubborn fights. They often cruise near the surface or hang around wrecks, buoys, and channel markers. Anglers love them for the challenge, the visual strikes, and their excellent table quality.

You can target Cobia by sight casting, which means casting to fish you can see. They also respond well to bottom fishing near structure, slow trolling live baits, and working heavy jigs. Chumming, or spreading small pieces of bait to draw fish in, can help. Popular baits include live eels, crabs, and bait fish. Keep a pitch rod ready so you can cast fast when a fish appears.

Expect steady action and sudden excitement when a dark shape appears beside the boat. Cobia fight hard and may make long runs under the boat. This makes them fun for experienced anglers and doable for beginners with guidance. Bring polarized sunglasses to spot fish, sun protection, non-slip shoes, and a camera. Use strong but simple tackle, and listen to your captain on safe handling. If releasing fish, keep them in the water as much as possible and support their weight.

Before your trip, check local fishing regulations. Make sure you have the right fishing license or permit. Confirm current seasons, area rules, and harvest limits where you plan to fish. Regulations can change and may differ between nearby waters, so review the latest guidance from local authorities.
