As a captain and someone who is literally addicted to fishing, your captain strongly recommends a 6-hour trip for the angler. This is a good option if you’d like to target a specific species. You leave the dock at 8:00 a.m. and get back at 2:00 p.m. (time may vary)

Captain Terry did an awesome job on our 6 hour trip and it was filled with not only a lot of fish but a lot of laughs. We went out for and caught Speckled Trout, Redfish, and as a bonus did some awesome Snook fishing in as well!
