Morning 6 hour Trolling/Bottom fishing trip
Had a great time with Captain Mike and deckhand Shane!…. Conditions were a little rough, but the Ocean Cat cut through the 3-4 ft swells like butter. It made the trip out and back quick which allowed us to maximize the time we had our hooks in the water. We targeted bigger snapper and had some success. Captain Mike definitely made sure he didn’t waste our time if the big boys weren’t at that spot, we’d pick up and move on to the next one. We landed one 20+ pounder and pulled the hook on a second one right at the boat. Of course we still came in with our boat limit of keepers. In all we probably landed around 20 fish total. We caught 3 Amberjack, a handful of triggerfish, and a bunch of legal snapper. We probably only caught 2 snapper that were under 14 inches. We also trolled for about a 1/2 hour between spots and got a nice bite! That reel was screaming, but the hook didn’t catch unfortunately. All in all, it was a great trip! We caught a lot of fish in 1/2 day with just 3 people. (One of the 3 in our party didn’t even fish much) Not only would I recommend Mike and Shane to anybody looking for a trip, but I look forward to fishing again with them next time we are in town!
Thanks for taking the time to share your review, it means a lot. Looking forward to the next time!
