Bull Redfish Are Chewin!!
Bull Redfish Are Chewin!!
Oct 3, 2020 Jacksonville
This is about as much fun as you can have in one place. These bull redfish are big and strong and so much fun to pull in. Over the past 3 charters, we have landed and properly released over 60 of these bruisers. We'd love to have you join us to make some memories! We cost a little more, but our boats are the biggest and you will be treated like family!

Grouper Season is here!
Grouper Season is here!
May 2, 2020 Jacksonville
Although grouper season is in, the grouper fishing we have on the east coast typically isn't that good truthfully. We have so many red snapper, it's really difficult to get to the grouper for the red snapper. The further offshore you get, 10hrs plus, the better your chances are for grouper. This is the best time of year for dolphin, but those are 60 miles plus offshore. The bottom fishing is phenomenal out there also for beeliners, triggerfish, red porgy, amberjack, etc... Regardless of what trip you choose, we will put together an enjoyable day for you and your crew! Come with us!
