5 Hour Beginner Fishing Experience

I think we caught the most fish on this trip of any charter I have taken. We didn’t luck out on anything very big but we had a great time and caught some decent sized fish. Plenty to bring home for dinner for 20 people!

8 Hour Deep Sea Fishing

Great Experience with Big John

Big John’s captain Dennis and Deck hand Matt were awesome in coaching us to catch some really nice Big Red Snapper, Red Grouper, amber jack and a whole bunch of lesser amberjacks…and whole Lot of Mingo’s. Great vessel with AC and Place to cool off and eat when time Allowed. I recommend going out on a 8 hour trip. We will be going back soon.
