We took our three young boys on their first deep sea bottom fishing trip and they absolutely loved it! Reel Floridian Fishing was amazing in working with us and adjusting our departure time due to the wonky weather. Even the weather couldnโt keep my boysโ their enthusiasm at bay! Captain Barry was extremely helpful with baiting our lines, fixing reels in a pinch and being extremely knowledgeable and patient with our 7yr old and under kinder crew. Lots of fresh bait and what felt like line after line of consistent catches; not all fish were big enough or edible but man were they biting! We will DEFINITELY go fishing again and canโt wait to book again!

Thanks so much! We are so glad you and the kids had fun! ๐๐ฃ
Bite started off slow.ย Kites were out and no hits for the first couple hours.ย A nice distraction was throwing some bait to a remora and hooking him for a little fight.ย Then It happened and we hooked into a giant sailfish.ย At first contact he stayed under and i thought i had a 10 pound mahi on.ย Then he realized he was hooked once he saw the boat.ย A huge jump and 500 yards of line shot from the reel.ย The fight nothing short of what you see on tv.ย Great maneuvering by capt chris and his crewmate, we managed the giant to the boat.ย 92 inches 80 pounds released to fight another day.ย Thanks Chris for a dream come true.

So glad we upgraded to sport fishing (trolling) instead of bottom fishing. The wind was blowing and the ocean was pretty rough but Captain Chris navigated our nautical adventure like a champ. Within the first five minutes of the bait in the water we had a bite and reeled in a Mahi!ย Over the next hour and a half we hooked two more (unfortunately the big one for dinner got away) With mission accomplished weโd had enough of getting sprayed by the eight foot swells. We headed to calmer waters and snagged two barracudas then hooked a Tarpon on the way back to the dock. It was so cool watching it flip out of the water and almost land in someone elseโs boat before it cut loose. Iโd say our first time oceanic fishing was an amazing memory.

We had a fun day fishing! We caught a variety of different fish and Capt. Jake worked hard to make sure we all had a good time.
