On one of our first trips of the year of 2023 we had an amazing day of fishing. It couldn't have gone any better. The weather was perfect and the fish were biting great! After an hour of fishing we almost had a limit of Verrmillion Snapper, (Mingo's) and were wondering what to do so we went looking for some bigger Triggerfish that we could keep. But, right before I moved the boat I heard some one say, "Get a gaff, Big Mingo". I thought to myself, WOW, that's a huge Mingo if we need a gaff. Then it hit me, no way. So I ran out back to see what was going on and to my surprise I noticed the deckhands scrambling with the gaff over the transom only to see this 8 foot "Mako" shark on the line of a woman's pole fighting about ten feet from the back of the boat. I said, OH, Mako not Mingo! And just like that the line broke and the shark swam away. Boy were we all disappointed at first. I then found out that they changed the rules on Mako sharks and we couldn't keep him anyway. Oh well, it was still a great opportunity. After all of that excitement, we went over to another couple of spots and caught some really nice Triggerfish. Gotta love it when a plan comes together. Every day is great chance of opportunity for you to catch the Big One. Sign up today for your trip early so you can get the day that you want. Thanks and good fishing to ya!

We had our six hour trip today with 55 people. The fish bit like crazy. The seas were slick calm. We had a total of over 400 pounds of fish.

Hey guys, we had another trip on May 6th and the weather was great, Fishing was good and the seas were nice. Everybody had a great time and on the way back in we ran across a FAD (Fish Attracting Device) that had around 20 Cobia on it. We caught around six but a few were too short but we did keep three legal fish. What a bonus! Come fish with us, we'll make memories for life!

We had a terrific trip yesterday with 21 people on a SIX hour trip on my boat that can hold 75 people. It certainly isn't crowded this time of year. The seas were almost non existent, totally flat! I know, right? Temperature was mid 70's and a bright sunny day. The kind of bluebird day we all dream of. The best part is that the fish were biting like crazy! We ended up with a limit of Vernillion Snapper (Mingo's) that's 10 per person and almost a full limit of real nice sized Triggerfish, limit one per person. One was 7.5 pounds, HUGE! The waters are still warming up and we did try to use our drift lines for a King Mackerel but didn't have any luck yet. When it's cool like this the bait doesn't get here until it warms up a little more yet. Then all of the top water fish bite good. As we came back in the pass my deckhands were riding in the tower looking for the Cobia that are migrating right now and they saw one just outside the rock jetty. We promptly spun around and tried to locate him but he disappeared quickly and was gone. The waters are Crystal clean and Emerald Green, just glowing this time of year as we haven't been flooded with too much dirty rain water runoff. This is the best time of the season to go fishing with the cool weather and sunny days. Just a reminder, we have been given 62 days of Federal Red Snapper Season this year starting June first and going thru August first. This is the longest season we've had in many years. Also we as "Charter for Hire" boats fish 7 days a week in Red Snapper season, not just Fri, Sat and Sun. Call us to make your reservations before it's too late to get the day you want. Thanks, Captain George Pfeiffer.
