    We had a blast, they did as much or as little as we wanted. We cought good sized keepers at every stop and never got bored. Maddie’s energy is infectious and provided the best fishing cheerleading i have seen. good crew, good boat, clean, and lots of fish. Total win.

    Captain Matt did a great job with our grandkids. They had so much fun. First caught some goat fish for bait. Also caught a couple triggerfish, lai, hogfish and uku. Lots of action. Matt even got us close to a huge pod of dolphins. We would definitely book this charter again.

    La was our guide and he was great. There were three of us and together we landed 19 fish, and 6 different varieties. The seas were calm and because we were on a kayak about a mile off shore, no one had any motion sickness. Highest recommendation from this happy group.

    Even with looming weather, the captain waited till they could make a call so it would be safe abd enjoyable for the kiddos. My son got his first yellow tuna and sat with captain Jerry while were trolling peppering him with questions. Jerry didnt mind one bit and made the day a great memory for me and my kids. Highly recommend to anyone looking to charter a kid friendly trip.

Blacktail Snapper fishing is all about fast hits, bright colors, and tasty rewards. This reef-dwelling Snapper is known for its dark tail, sharp eyes, and quick strike. Anglers target it for steady action around coral and rocky structure, plus excellent table quality.

You can catch Blacktail Snapper with simple, proven techniques. Try reef fishing and bottom fishing with squid, shrimp, cut bait, or small live bait near structure. Spinning with small jigs and soft plastics also works. Bottom fishing means dropping your bait to the seafloor and waiting for a bite. Use an abrasion-resistant leader because fish often run for cover.

Expect fun, short bursts of power rather than long runs. This suits families, first-time anglers, and anyone who enjoys hands-on action. Mornings and late afternoons often fish best. Bring sun protection, polarized sunglasses to spot structure, and a light jacket for breeze or spray. If you get seasick, consider medication before the trip. Your captain will provide local know-how on spots, tides, and safe handling.

Before you go, check local rules for licenses or permits. Review any open seasons, gear restrictions, and harvest regulations. Some areas have marine protected zones where fishing is limited. Always follow local laws and your captain’s guidance to keep reefs and fish healthy for the future.
