    INSHORE FISHING - 7:00 AM • 2 adults

    there were no issues communicating with the Captain who was welcoming and very polite. he was knowledgeable and experienced The boat and equipment were up to the task. The bait was fresh. The fishing was slow, but clearly not due to the captains efforts. We came across many other boats and no one was having any significant luck so it was just a matter of a slow fishing day. We did hook up a few times with significant Fish that simply could not be brought to the side of the boat before coming off.

    Kids dream come true! Adults too.

    INSHORE FISHING • 5 adults • 3 children

    Chad made the experience hands down the best. He was amazing with the kids, so patient, answered every question sometimes the same question more than once. He educated us all and kept the lines baited. I can not say enough about what a fantastic experience it was all due to Chad. The kids have not stopped talking about it nor asking when we can go again.

    Great Capt and Fishing

    INSHORE FISHING • 4 adults

    We went out with Chad on a great trip and caught several large Sheepshead. It was a fun trip and Chad was awesome! We booked this last minute and he got right back to us. He helped all of us both experienced and first timers feel comfortable and confident to hook into fish. Highly suggest him!

Red Snapper Bite is ON FIRE!

May 17, 2025 • Port Orange
Now’s the time to hook into some of the biggest and baddest red snapper of the season! Off the coast of New Smyrna Beach, Daytona, and Port Canaveral, the red snapper bite has been nothing short of incredible. We're fishing offshore and nearshore ledges, reefs, and wrecks — and the rods are bending! These hard-fighting fish not only put up a thrilling battle but also make for some of the best table fare around. Whether you’re a first-timer or seasoned angler, this is your chance to reel in a true bucket list catch.
