Don't have a whole day to spend on the water? This is a great time of year for fishing nearshore, with Spanish mackerel running right off the beach. We can have lines in as soon as we clear the inlet, and seldom have to go more than a couple of miles to find the fish. We have half-day trips that can have you back at the dock in time for lunch. Or, if you're really tight on time, book one of our 3 hour Fun trips. These short trips are especially great if you have youngsters. What can you do in a couple of hours? On our last 8 hour trip, we fished offshore in hopes of dolphin (mahi) or king mackerel. Fish were boiling the surface all around, and the sonar was marking all sorts of stuff, so things looked better than they turned out. We found some mahi that were a bit too small, and dealt with some pesky (but tasty) sharks, but after most of the day and covering over 40 miles of ocean, we didn't have much to show for our efforts. It was a beautiful day and everyone was having fun, but the fish just weren't cooperating. These guys were hoping for at least a fish fry, and I didn't want them to go home empty-handed. I offered to head inshore and see if we could throw some Spanish mackerel in the cooler before I took them home. We were already almost out of time on the trip and we were in the hottest part of the day (not a great time for fishing), but I was confident we could pick up some fish for them... and we did. In 45 minutes we had put six fish on ice, lost several others, and had a good bit of action with the lizard fish (we throw these back) as well. So give us a call. We have plenty of weekend dates open right now and the fishing is only getting better over the next several weeks.
