Trip Summary

Winter is coming, and the ocean reminded us who’s in charge. A full day offshore trip under rough conditions pushed both crew and anglers to their limits — but it paid off. Despite the challenging sea, we landed a solid 50 lb Wahoo, lost two more during the fight, and caught several Barracudas, proving that persistence and experience matter when the ocean gets tough. In the afternoon, we switched tactics and headed for bottom fishing, where the reward came in the form of a giant Amberjack — pure power from the deep and an unforgettable battle. Not every day is calm, but those are often the days that create the best stories. This trip was a true test of skill, teamwork, and respect for the ocean. Real fishing. Real conditions. Real memories.
