amazing trip!

Half Day Trip (AM)3 adults1 child

A group of us took the 8-hour deep-sea fishing trip and had an amazing experience from start to finish. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and the captain was top-notch, making every effort to keep us around the fish and succeeding. Made the entire trip run smoothly. Caught around 12 fish total and had an absolute blast the whole time. We really appreciated that the crew filleted and bagged all the fish for us at the end, which made bringing them home so easy. Highly recommend the 8-hour trip if you really want time to get out farther and have the full experience. Definitely worth it and they’re already talking about going again!

    Great Fishing Trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    The crew was great and literally did all the work. Had to cut the trip short due to my motion sickness which they were very understanding of. Caught lots of red snapper. Most were just under the size limit but still fun to catch. My wife caught a good size barracuda which took several minutes to reel in. Again-hats off to the Crew!

    Hell of a day

    Full Day Trip • 6 adults • 3 children

    Booked the trip for my 4 years birthday all he wanted to do was fish. Had 3 adults 3 kids all avid fishermen dedicated inshore anglers… we booked this trip to knock a few different species off the bucket list and did just that. 2 hour boat ride to spot was good and smooth and soon as we got there we starting trolling. Within 5/10 minutes our first line started screaming FISH ON king mackerel. Caught a few kings and then ran into a school of mahi. We only got 1 mahi out of the school lost a few . Trolling bite died down we went to deep diving for snapper and the bite was hot the whole time until we timed out. Highly recommend the 8 hour trip with capt Fowler was a good trip and will definitely be back for some sailfish on a 12 hour trip thank you very much capt.

    Reported Catch
