If you’re looking to catch a bunch of species then this is the trip for you! We were only off about 2-3 miles from shore the entire time and fished between 70 and 110 feet deep. I wanted to make sure everyone caught something which is why we picked this trip and they put us all over tons of small fish. We even had a few get taken from us by larger fish. We had a chance at huge ones. Great experience

Its fishing, i hit it on a rough day on the water and we had some nasty rain that pushed the fish down but just last week they were hitting some 40-80lb wahoo and mahi, my trip was mostly barracuda and we threw them back since they are a risky meal.

Bottom fishing for a guaranteed catch. This trip exceeded our expectations. Lots of fish... so fun. These guys are the best. Snacks, drinks were provided. Fishing was all within sight of the island. This is a "must do" from now on, every time we come to the island!

There is a big underwater ledge about a mile offshore that the boats troll along. Expect a little choppiness as you get out to the ledge .

Captain Anthony did a good job manueving around large swells and finally got us on fish.
