Started inshore fishing when I was a young boy and then moved on to offshore as a teenager. Later I began taking people fishing with me. Seeing their excitement and happiness from reeling in trophy fish quickly became more rewarding for me than me catching the fish. So here I am now, guiding people in the right direction to catch their personal best trophy fish!

    Awesome…as always

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore2 adults

    This was our third trip with Aaron and just like the other two, this was a very good trip. We started off a little slow, but Aaron kept working the area we were at and moving the boat and we started catching some nice fish and when it was all said and done we brought home a lot of fish. Aaron is an awesome guy who works hard at getting you on fish, we plan on going again next time we come down for vacation. Give him a try, it’ll be worth it.

    Best fishing experience I’ve experienced

    8 Hour Trip – Offshore6 adults1 child

    This makes the 5th private charter that I’ve been on, and it far exceeded the others. The captain is very knowledgeable and a master of his trade. We had a party of six, and he kept us baited, fishing, and having fun. He was very respectful and made sure all of my party had the best time. I would recommend him 10/10 and will be booking a trip for next year. He was very nice and patient with my family as well

    Great time!!

    4hr inshore afternoon trip.4 adults1 child

    Captain Aaron communicated well and although we weren’t able to go offshore fishing like we had hoped due to rough waters, he made our inshore trip memorable. Hooks were kept baited and he was very patient with the kids. Our keepers were filleted for us to take home at the conclusion of our trip. Would definitely recommend to both novices and more experienced anglers alike.

    42 fish in tbe boat!!!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore3 adults

    My sons and I had a great time with Captain Aaron. We managed to land 42 fish in just a few hours. Not all were keepers, but we caught enough for 2 nights of fish tacos. (Family of 5) The good captain put us right where we needed to be to maximize our time on the water, was very patient, and even cleaned our fish at the dock. Keep up the grest job, Captain!

Reef Donkeys

Jul 27, 2026 • Port Orange
We have been catching some large Amberjacks on recent trips. This time of year they move in from the deep water wrecks into shallower water. We dont have to run so far to find them. Instead of going 30+ miles on a 8-10hr trip we have been getting them on 6hr trips and sometimes the 4hr trips. They wont be here long so book now!

Offshore fishing trips have been busy busy. Lots of fish to pick through, just keep dropping baits and reeling them up! Lane snappers, mangrove snappers, triggerfish, cobia, and vermillion snappers have all made it to the fillet table and big sharks and red snappers have been released to fight another day.

We love practicing catch and release but you are welcome to harvest leagal species for dinner. I will clean and bag the catch at the end of the trip as well.
