    (6hr trip captain's choice!)

    Awesome Trip!

    we appreciate Captain Jim. He gave us a great offshore fishing experience. We caught red snapper Vermilion, snapper trigger, sand perch, grouper and a few other species. Great family environment. Thanks a lot, Jim. See you when we come back next time!

    (Half a day Fishing Trip)

    Good trip!

    Alles was in orde, van het varen tot het fileren en eten van de vis. Bemanning stond ons prima te woord en kon alles goed uitleggen. Alleen ontbraken de big game vissen. 1 kleine barracuda gevangen en voor derest alleen kleine visjes. 300€ beetje overprijsd voor wat wij gedaan hebben, naar mijn mening.

    Great experience

    Chris, our captain had many years experience on the water and seemed to have a sense of where the Snapper were. Had a nice time.

Red Grouper fishing targets a powerful bottom fish on reefs and wrecks. Anglers love its strong first run and firm, mild fillets. It offers steady action for beginners and seasoned anglers alike.

Most trips use bottom fishing over rocky structure, ledges, or wrecks. Drop baits on circle hooks with enough weight to hold bottom. Productive baits include live Pinfish, Pilchards, Sardines, or Squid. Cut Mullet and other oily fish also draw strikes. Heavy jigs and soft plastics work when fish are active. Keep the rod low and apply pressure fast after the bite.

Expect a boat ride to natural reefs or artificial structure. Drops are quick, and the fight is short but intense. This suits families, first-timers, and anyone who enjoys steady action. Crews often provide tackle and bait, but check what is included. Pack sun protection, non-slip shoes, snacks, and plenty of water. Consider motion-sickness medication if you are prone to seasickness.

Rules for this species vary by region and can change. Always check local fishing license and permit needs before you go. Confirm current seasons, harvest limits, and gear rules with authorities. Handle and release undersized fish carefully to support healthy stocks.
