    Fishing

    5 Hour Trip — Newbie Offshore Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a great 5 hour trip. We had a tough time getting fish in the boat, short biting, but we were on fish all day. Captain kept our kiddos on the bite and really helped our 5yr old catch her fill. We went home with fish and had a great time.

    Good Afternoon Trip!

    6 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    The captain has his own 'spots' to fish where he has located or established habitat. you aren't fighting with other boats or fisherman for space at the 'well known fishing holes'. 9-15 miles out with no other boats in-sight. Quick to move-on from sites where the wrong kind of fish were biting and stealing bait. Focused on catching quality 'keeper' fish. We primarily caught Snapper, Grouper, and Mingo's.

    Response from Charter operator

    we really hope your group had a good time, however 4 star reviews really hurt our rating. please let us know what we could have done for a better rating. thanks
