6 Hour Trip – Tripletail
+1
Tripletail fishing is more strenuous than conventional bottom fishing and requires casting at poles, bouys and fads. This trip might be better for more experienced anglers or anyone curious to learn. Tripletail fishing can be the most rewarding since the fish can be larger than other species and the meat is considered some of the best available. This is a full day charter 6 hours on the water.

Fun Inshore Trip
5/5
After attempting offshore, the wind wasn’t going to cooperate. So we decided to try inshore fishing on a whim and Captain Jason put us on a variety of fish. Sheepshead, redfish, drum, and flounder made for a fun trip for all of us. Highly recommend captain Jason!

Great fishing
5/5
Captain Wes took us out in the bay to catch some fish and we tore it up. I then started to get sea sick and he then brought us up into the river for a smoother time. We caught red fish, sting ray, flounder, croakers, and a sheepshead. Had a great time and I can’t wait to go back to Florida!

It was cold but Captain Greg had some great spots out of the wind were we fought with big sheepshead. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Half Day trip with Capt. Lee
5/5
Capt Lee was/is a fantastic boat Captain. At launch ahead of scheduled time, very thorough and competent with equipment readiness, had studied weather patterns beforehand, ready to provide the best fishing experience within his control. His boat was very stable with a dry ride even in waves. I had requested sheepshead charter, we caught a few even on the tail end of the season, and caught several species. Highly recommend Shallow Seas Charter with Capt Lee.
