For angler fishing for the first time I would suggest 3/4 of a day trip or a full day trip, even thought it may be more expensive it will be the best bang for you buck as far as time and the opportunity you can have to catch any and all types of fish. Offshore fishing is a must

Jim simply knows what he is doing. If you want competent and a seasoned pro, this is who you choose to go out with. I’ve been fishing most of my life off the coast of Florida and in the Keys, but if I’m going offshore on a charter, I trust Jim to take me.

Most of my experience fishing here outside of the charter trip has been paddle tails and shrimp from the dock behind the resort I stayed in- taking the charter really does make a world of a difference. The fish out deep in the water do not mess around and they rice a ferocious fight and are incredibly strong.
