I hindsight, I definitely would urge anyone to spend the extra few 100 and go for a longer trip it’s worth it. This trip was excellent, 1st mate was super knowledgeable all things fish related. Captain accommodated us by moving to different fishing spots during the entire trip to optimize our ability to catch fish ! We went for groceries not trophies and they didn’t disappoint! Boat was excellent lots of room. Gear work flawlessly all day. We will be booking with them again as soon as possible. Next time we’re going to choose the longer option though!

This is the second time we’ve went out with Reel Compulsive on the Hogtide and it did not disappoint! Caught a variety of fish. Crew was great with my boys (11 & 23)  and very professional/ knowledgeable!

Overall great trip! The crew was amazing and very patient with the kids. We caught many fish and had an amazing time!

Great boat and crew- request was to fish for Mahi and groupers- trolled for a while- mostly bonitas and some king mackerel- caught a big red snapper trolling somehow and was released- one small amberjack- went to deep drop- some small vermilions - I asked why we didn’t go far to the Gulf Stream and was told I should have asked for the 10 hours- I would definitely recommend before booking confirming what you are paying for- it was fun pulling some fish, but definitely missed the mark for the targeted species

Start got moved back a little bit so they could hear what was not hitting as we left for 6-hour trip. They did a great job keeping the little ones engaged, which was key, teaching them about fishing along the way, and we found some great spots.  Captain and crew were genuinely nice guys and would definitely use them again next time we come back to the area. Highly recommended!
