This is a full day trip that allows the time to target some of the more exotic species we have to offer that are relatively close to shore (20 miles). We can troll or bottom fish with both dead and live bait for fish like mahi mahi, king mackerel, amberjack, and even sharks. This is the perfect trip for the family group that has some experience and wants larger and more exotic fish.

Fantastic
5/5
Friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient! When it says 6a.m. to 10 a.m., you fish until 10a.m., not back at your car at 10! We had a blast!

It was a very cool experience navigating the backwaters of the north river. We caught fish all morning. Captain David Ward was great. He kept us on fish all morning and was very knowledgeable of the waterways. I will definitely be booking again next year!
