They new the assignment was our grandson and they gave him the trip of his life. He caught more fish than any of us including a black tip Shark. We started as strangers and were treated like family. Capt MO we will be back for more fun and will only want you as our Captain .

A local captain is a must. Fish here are not like the Gulf. Fish are picky and the captain must have multiple techniques to catch them.

This time of year, when the water is warm, may cause fish to be lazy. Bottom feeders are the ones to fish for. Water was so warm, even the barracuda 10’ under the boat was not moving. It was a great time. Caught snapper, yellowtail (those are mostly in the keys), dogfish, and plenty of grouper. Was a great time.

You won’t be catching huge fish bottom fishing. Typically it’ll just be snappers during this time of year. Trolling is definitely the better way to go due to the variety of species and shear size of the of fish.

Understand that the captain cannot control the weather or the fish. We had a great time. We caught several fish that we had to throw back because they were a smidge too little. So, we caught more fish than the fish board shows.

Stormy weather approaching made the water quite rough. It was easy to get to our charter and it was a short boat drive to our fishing spot, but if you can plan ahead of time definitely consider water conditions. Overall, it was good.
