    Sailfish on!

    4 hour Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    A fantastic morning on the water!! Captain Jonathan got us right out and set up quickly. Tuna were biting and multiple Mahi were reeled in. This was our first exposure to kite fishing— very cool! The highlight of our trip was the beautiful 81” Sailfish. An unforgettable experience! The Captain and crew were super knowledgeable, fun to chat with and had every detail covered. If your looking for a great day on the water the Colossal Catch is the only answer.

    I had a blast with my son and 2 of his friends on a 4 hr trip. My goal was to get my son the experience of catching a sailfish and we succeeded--along with each of the rest of us catching small mahi mahi. Captain Cody was great, put us on the fish, and delivered a great lifetime memory for my son!

    I reached out to Capt John to book a Goliath Grouper charter and possible eating fish. The trip started with us making bait and we quickly shifted gears to targeting some pelagics. It was close to triple-digit best with lack of current and Captain John pulled the plug and we shifted gears once more. We made bait again, this time boating a monster Cuda for bait to target Goliaths. Not long after that we were on out target species, my buddy and I were both fortunate to boat one each. Shortly after we targeted some snapper, but had a couple missed opportunities. Overall we had a great experience with Capt John and his deck and Harold. I would definitely recommend this crew and will be headed back myself in the near future.

Sailfish season is in full swing, and it's not a bad time to fish for Wahoo or Swordfish, either. The reefs are still swarming with Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, and more.
