If you are looking for a great afternoon with family/friends, a 4-6hr trip is long enough and there are plenty of fish to make the trip a blast. If you want larger or bucket list fish, I would recommend a full day as you can go to deeper waters.

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.

Torin was great! Very knowledgeable of the area, personable, and detailed. He made sure we did everything the right way to get the right fish. We caught more than we expected and had such a fun time. Only booked a four hour trip but wish we would have been there longer with more people!! Without a doubt, next time fishing in FL we’re coming to him!
