Trophy Fish & Mahi Mahi

3/4 Day Trip (AM) - Shared2 adults

We booked a shared charter, which saved costs, however we rotated turns to reel in catches. DJ was our mate and was phenomenal, he had 4-6 lines going at all times. We did a 3/4 day charter, two of us then 4 others also were booked. everyome was friendly and we all felt ownership of all the catches (although DJ really did most of the work). We split the edible fish amongst parties that wanted some, and although only 2 mahi keepers, it was enough for everyone to have a small meal (which we’ll tske to one of many restaurants that will gril it for us). We rotated turns reeling, i had one decent fish then a dud. We got a few mahi mahi, two non-keepers and two keepers. i know many trips come back unfruitful to no fault of captain or mate, we ended up the best boat out there with mahi & a trophy sailfish. another group brought a full cooler with drinks and food, we brought snacks, a few drinks and suscreen, boat had waters on ice for us.

    What an experience!

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) - Shared2 adults

    What a great day of fishing and being on the boat! We caught a bunch of barcuda and a mahi/ dolphin fish! We would have loved to catch more "eating" fish, but it just wasn't meant for that day...however, we learned so much about the area, equipment, and had the best time. We also loved that it wasn't a super over crowded experience. We were on our honeymoon, so it was nice to have the small group (us and another couple).

    Amazing trip in the Keys!

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) - Shared1 adult

    Captain Gill and Eddie were absolutely great! Even though fishing had been slow in the area they were able to fish hard and get us on some great Mahi fishing. There as 6 of us on a 3/4 day trip and we all got on multiple species of fish. It was an overall amazing experience and wold highly recommend. Will definitely be my go to charter any time I find myself in the Keys!

    Great Guide

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) - Shared2 adults

    We had a very enjoyable 3/4 day fishing trip. Caught black fin tuna & yellow fin. He baited hooks, put on new leaders, and did an excellent job fileting our fish when we returned.
