    Amberjack after amberjack — an outstanding day with Patrick

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    What a fishing session. Patrick really listened to what we were after, and then took us somewhere we never expected — and it paid off big time. We landed plenty of amberjacks, all of them a great size, with some serious fights at the end of the line. You can tell straight away he’s passionate about it: he knows the area, the bottom structure, the fish and the baits inside out. On top of that he’s a genuinely cool, easy-going guy, and he took the time to explain everything to us throughout the trip. If you’re thinking about a trip with Patrick, don’t hesitate. Thanks again, and see you next time!

    Great day on the water!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    This was our 2nd trip with Captain Pat! this time he took us fishing in the ocean for Spanish Mackerel. He taught us everything we needed to know so we could reel in and set up the lines when needed. We saw multiple pods of Dolphins and caught enough fish for the whole family to enjoy some great fish tacos! Thanks Pat!

    Great trip for the kids

    We caught several spanish mackerel and a few bluefish. Capt. did a great job putting us on fish and even went over our allotted time limit due to catching fish. Would recommend for all ages.
