    Perfect 1st time saltwater fishing experience!

    5 hour troll and bottom fish • 2 adults

    We caught a ton of red snapper, some trigger fish, and a few other species of fish. Our Captain Brody and Mate Bill was fantastic. Brody brought all of the energy and put us on the fish and Bill stayed busy keeping bait on our hooks and taking the fish off for us to maximize our fishing time. The boat has a ton of room on the inside to take a break or use the restroom and the back fishing deck has plenty of room to move around and catch some fish. They will definitely have you catching alot of fish it turns into a workout. 10/10 experience and will book with them again in the future.

    an excellent afternoon!

    4 hour trolling and bottom fishing - 2:00 PM • 6 adults • 2 children

    captain brody and first mate jan were great on our 4 hour afternoon bottom fishing focused trip. brody put us on several hot spots and jan did a great job of coaching us and keeping hooks baited. these gentleman were fantastic with our boys (8-16 yrs old), and the bottom fishing method kept everybody engaged. plus we had a great vermillion snapper haul which made for a delicious hook and cook dinner at nearby Brotulas!

    Awesome Family Trip

    5 hour troll and bottom fish • 6 adults • 4 children

    I would recommend this trip to anyone. Troll on the way out to the reef, slam some fish, and troll on the way back. Not a wasted moment! We caught a nice grouper, a few large triggers, a bunch of snappers, ocean perch and a sea robin?!?! The first mate couldn’t keep enough bait on 6 rods to the point i had to help out because we were catching so many. These guys really know what they’re doing!
