Great 4 hour trip

Afternoon 1/2 day6 adults1 child

Had a great trip. Started off first hour the mate was catching bait with their net, saw a dolphin and then headed out to the ocean. We weren’t sure if we would be able to go out or not due to the rough water. Glad we were able to try it out since we were hoping to catch a big one. We headed out 4 miles and youngest son got sea sick, first time out in the ocean and crew was great giving tips to help him out. We caught a hammer head shark and oldest son had to pass off the pole to his friend as he got sea sick too. Crew was great and asked if we wanted to go into calmer water for the last part of our trip as they weren’t going to get feeling any better. Went into a nice calm channel and caught three Red, which made the boys feel much better. My first sick son was excited and said it made his day so much better once he caught his first fish and said now this deserves a 5 star review! He caught another fish and my other son caught one as well. This trip was a little different than others as we were all use to casting and holding the poles most of the time, but the mate did the casting, setting the lines and helped the boys once they had a fish on an let them reel them in. He took over a few times which was helpful to make sure we didn’t lose them. The mate cleaned the fish for the boys and we cooked them up that night which was great. Overall a great trip, only changes we would have made was we should have gave the boys drammine before the trip, I thought they took them before we left and we should have asked if the two dad’s and grandma on the boat could have had a line in the water as well since we barely touched the poles. Glad the three boys were able to each reel in a fish and that’s what it’s all about. Thankful for the crew to be able to change and adapt to the sea sickness and not make us feel bad. Captain was great teaching the kids about the depth and fish finder. They also put on a fish camp which sounds pretty awesome. We recommend this crew if you are looking to go out into the deep sea. He mentioned a few times his boat is a little big for the smaller channels. Great time and appreciate the crew!

    Awesome experience!

    6hour trip2 adults

    These guys ROCK! My son and I did a six hour trip and we caught a BUNCH of fish (amber jacks, king, barracuda, bonita, red and mangrove snapper). Had almost 20 keepers. My son landed about 14-15 amber jack in less than 30 minutes. Dave put us into some great spots and really made the trip enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable and responsive. First mate (Cap Rob) was also great to have with us. Would work with Dave again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

    Dave and Ryan were great!

    6hour trip3 adults

    Dave and Ryan were great. They arrived ontime to pick us up and within minutes we catching baitfish and then off to catching King fish. After a couple hours we went further offshore and caught mahi, mangrove snapper, red snapper and many other species. All in all it was a great day and these guys loved sharing knowledge and even gave us some fishing spots to fish from on the intercostal waterway. Appreciate you guys!

Our capt was very knowledgeable of great fishing locations! You have a blast and we will be going back. BRING A HAT! THE ☀️ IS REAL!

    Amazing time!!!

    6hour trip5 adults

    We had an incredible day offshore and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! David and Ryan were top-notch from start to finish—friendly, professional, and dedicated to making sure everyone had a great time. They knew exactly where to go, kept us on the fish, and made the entire trip exciting from the first line in the water to the ride back to the dock. Whether you fish all the time or it’s your first offshore trip, they make the experience easy, fun, and memorable. Highly recommend!
