    3/4 day trip

    3/4 Day Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    Great Captian and mate. His boat was accommodating and worked well for my group of 4 (2 children). Captian was willing to fish for whatever species we wanted but I left that decision to him. Just asked to provide a good experience for us. 32 yellow tail, 3 amberjacks, 1 grouper, and 5 sharks. Could of continued to catch our limit of yellow tail and our last amberjack but Captian Dustin was asking during the trip what we would like. The grouper was under size limit and the sharks didn't make the grouper fishing easy. Awesome trip, wouldn't hesitate to book with him again next time I'm in the Key's. Thanks Captian.

    Reported catch:
    Yellowtail Snapper
    Black Grouper
    Amberjack

    Great day on the water

    3/4 Day Trip • 6 adults

    Went out Jan 30, 2023 and started out drift fishing with med/heavy spinning gear in 80 FOW. Capt Dustin had us in fish immediately and the yellowtail snapper action was non-stop for the first 3 hours. Also had some very large grouper stealing some of our catch which gave us a workout while they held on. Seas were a bit rough for some of our party, so Dustin moved us in to the patch reef where the calmer waters help some in our party get their color back. Fishing was slower, but we still managed. First mate Eric was outstanding, an absolute delight, and very encouraging to the novice fisherman in our group. In fact, I don't think he ever stopped moving for more than 30 seconds the whole time. I highly recommend this charter and will not hesitate to book again the next time I'm in the upper Keys.

    Captin Dustin and Avery

    3/4 Day Trip • 6 adults • 2 children

    We ahd a fantastic day out on the boat with these two, they worked seamlessly as a team to give our group the best experience possible. Leading up to the trip Captain Dustin was very responsive to requests and gave his best recommendations on what would work best for us. We ended up getting an amazing AJ and a bunch of snapper to fill the freezer with. Would 100% recommend and will be booking with them again on our next trip. Russell Sloan
