Full stringers around the whole boat today once again despite a few slow days 95% of a half-day trips are coming back with loaded stringers. Do you want to catch some fresh fish for dinner lunch come on down you should have plenty of fish on a half day for some great meals. Photo was from a trip last week however they all look like these. If you always wanted to go but never did no worries. We will teach you how to load up your stringers with these great eating fish.

This month before the kids get out of school is the time to hit the beach area. The boats are only carring half the people till the end of thr month leaving lots of room and fish waiting to bend your rods. First time fishing ?? No problem. We will show you how. Remember you cant cook them till you hook them. Come and enjoy the Gulf with us. 95 percent of the time we start out with a great dolphin show. Save your money. We have some of the best dolphin shows in the area. Come and see why the other boats follow us to see the dolphins playing in our wake

Light crowd today and calm seas. These days are hard to find with the fish just waiting for a bait to be lowered down. For the most part if you had your line out for more then a minute it was you lost your bait or not on the bottom all the way. Todays the day we call yanking and cranking. Drop the bait down yank fhe reel the fish up. That easy. Some people on the half day today had more then 25 fish a piece. Now thats fishing !! I dont see anything that woukd stop tge fish from hitting your bait for at least the next few weeks. Now is a good time to go if you have never gone before. We will teach you how to fish of you have never gone before. At the end of the trip you will look like a pro. When your friends see your stringers they will think you fish all the time. If you fish then you might want to take and hop on a half day trip right now. The fish are in shallow water with the water temps in the low 70s. Great time of year to fish. Red grouper season opens up January 1 !! We will start running our all day trips as soon as it opens. Right now it looks like friday is the day of the week we will do them but im thinking about moving the day and or adding another all day. Happy holidays to all. Hope to see you on deck !

After the two hurricanes fishing has been the best I seen in a long time. Just about every spot out in the gulf has fish just waiting for a bait to eat. This is the time to get out and get in on the fast action going on. Message me and i will give you a up to date fishing report.
