They weren't really biting today but that didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves. Great trip.

Yes. It was our first time fishing here, and Jeremy grew up here and knows the area well.

If this is your first time chartering a saltwater trip, this is your boat and crew.

It’s fishing not always catching. Enjoy the sights around you. Navy jets are awesome for kids.

Great fishing, but not for red snapper or grouper. Great for kings and some other snapper though

Maybe attempt a booking when you are there instead way ahead of time due to weather.

Make sure you know the dates you can keep red snapper if they are the fish you intend to target

Make sure you understand that you may not catch anything. Fish are finicky, they don't always bite

Bay fishing is great for first timers. Won’t be sea sick like you can get in the deep water
