Offshore

6 Hour Trip – Offshore/Wreck3 adults

Charlie Roger's is a solid captain with terrific local knowledge. Born and raised in the area, Charlie knows his stuff. We went fishing for sailfish and tuna on a fairly rough seas day. We tried kite fishing. Charlie was well prepared and worked the lines hard. We caught some mutton snapper while drifting and a Spanish mackeral. I would recommend Capt Charlie for more experienced fisherman. Nice guy

    February Trip

    8 Hour Trip – Offshore/Wreck • 5 adults

    Captain Rodgers was extremely friendly, understanding, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He helped make a last-second trip become reality, and it was some of the best fishing I’ve done. I honestly couldn’t thank him enough for his accommodations. I compared a lot of different choices for charters, and overall, Against the Grain seemed like the best one. After actually going, it did not disappoint one bit. I’d recommend Captain Rodgers and Against the Grain to anyone looking to go on a charter, he’s the best there is
