About the trip

On this 4-hour morning trip, you get to choose whether you'd like to bottom fish or troll. For bottom fishing, you'll go to the nearby wrecks to target different species, such as Amberjack, Grouper, Snapper, and many others. Trolling will see you going after King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and whatever else might be biting that day. Pack some snacks and drinks, and you're ready to go.
