Just remember it is called fishing and not catching. We had caught a bunch of fish, just not the “monster” the captain was after.

This is a difficult time of year for some species of fish. The captain DID deliver with what was here and provided a quality, well priced trip.

Check the weather and remember to wear more layers that you think you'll need. It can be cold in January.

Check with your captain a couple of days ahead of your trip to check boating conditions and be flexible for rescheduling. It can get cold at times out on the water in October, so dress in layers.

Trust your Capt to know what is bitting. They are on the water and know what to target and where to go. Some days are very good and some a little slower. Thats why it's called fishing and not just catching.

The flats is the place to fish during the hot summer months on the reefs no need to go out long distance and take away from time catching fish. We caught more in the flats near Land

If you're doing a near shore trip, definitely do the 6 hour trip. I'm glad we did. With the travel time to the fishing spots that were 7-10 miles out, 4 hours wouldn't have been enough.
