3/4 Day Trip - Offshore (AM)

Booked the morning trip with 6 people fishing. My kids first charter trip and couldn’t have had a better Captain. Mike made sure the lines were tight so everyone caught multiple fish. I would recommend this charter for first timers or regulars. Best value and service on the island. Can’t wait for the next trip.

We chartered a 4 hour jetty trip just before New Years. A bit rough but the boat was great. Captain Mike put us on fish right away. Black Drum, redfish and a few smaller ones we threw back. Great day. Plenty of action and fun conversation with the crew
