I grew up fishing in South Florida and knew I wanted to be a fisherman as my career. I have been fishing the waters up and down the east coast for over 38 years. I have spent time on everything from drift boats, long lining, private boats, charter boats and have owned my own charter operation for a long time now.

Half Day Nearshore (AM) • 5 adultsWe throughly enjoyed the trip. We shifted our trip from a Tuesday to Friday because a a big storm. The process was very easy. We first headed to the ship wreck area and everyone cause at least one fish. However there were fish only good for bait, not eating. So we moved to a differently location and trolled the rest of our time. No more catches but that fishing. 😁 The boat showed its ware, however that just shows the years of experience they have. The lounge is quite large and has AC. My only suggestion is it would be nice if cold bottled water was available. That’s just for the customers ease. Rather than the guests having to pack and bring it. Not sure this type of fishing is for me. But if it’s what you are looking for I would recommend Cpt Mark and mate Tom. Both supper knowledgeable and helpful.
