4 Hour Trip - Spring Season - 7:00 AM

This trip is perfect to get on the water and catch a variety of fish. Our goal is to keep enough for a few meals, but we typically catch and release a lot of fish as well. It's fun for the anglers and good for the fish!

5 Hour Trip – Spring Season - 6:00 AM

5 Hour Trip – Spring Season - 7:00 AM

5 Hour Trip – Spring Season

This 5hr trip gives you a taste of saltwater fishing and a real shot at coming home with a few meals for the week. It's a great choice for small kids.

5 Hour Trip - Summer

A great Fall trip to get out on the water and catch some a nice mess of fish. We always troll for wahoo on the way out and back, and we do a lot of bottom fishing about 20 miles offshore.

6 Hour Trip – Fall Season

The 6hr is a great trip. It gives us enough time to travel further offshore and still spend a considerable amount of the trip with lines in the water. Our goal on this trip is to catch and keep a nice mess of fish and hopefully have some time to look for some bigger fish as well!

6 Hour Trip – Spring Season

8 Hour Trip – Fall

The best of the best. We travel up to 30 miles offshore on the 8hr. This gives you more opportunity to catch some really nice fish for dinner, and to catch a wider variety of species.

8 Hour Trip – Spring Season

8 Hour Trip – Spring Season - 8:00 AM

The 7hr is a nice trip, especially if you're are struggling to decide between a 6 or an 8hr. We fish it in the about the same area as a 6hr so the extra hour is almost all fishing time.

7 Hour Trip – Summer

7 Hour Trip – Summer - 12:30 PM

We may fish around 40 miles offshore on this trip. You should enjoy a lot of fishing time and catch some really nice fish.
