Fishing with Paul

Full Day Trip (Private)2 adults

We left at 645 am. 1st we went to catch live bait. This took until 9am. Our goal was to put fish in the freezer. Caught mostly king fish and bonita which to us is not fish we would eat. We then decided to go for some mahi mahi. In 2 hours we caught four for the freezer. Good sized, however the last 3 hours we did not catch any fish. I must say they fish different down here where reef and wreck is trolling, not sure the hook ever reaches the bottom. We did see other boats bring in some nice catches along with some grouper. What happened to bottom fishing with squid? Not so sure I agree with paying for 2 plus hours catching live bait before we fish. Makes one wonder what would happen if we didn't catch any!!!!

    Good trip

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults

    My recent fishing charter experience was nothing short of phenomenal! The boat was not only spacious and well-equipped but also impeccably maintained, providing a comfortable and enjoyable setting for our excursion. The captain demonstrated exceptional expertise, navigating us to the best fishing spots with precision and ensuring a successful catch. The first mate was equally impressive, offering valuable tips and assistance throughout the trip, enhancing the overall experience. Together, the captain and first mate formed a dynamic duo, creating a friendly and professional atmosphere that made our fishing adventure unforgettable. I highly recommend this charter for anyone seeking a perfect blend of skilled navigation, a well-appointed vessel, and a knowledgeable and friendly crew.

    Offshore with Captain Paul!

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    Went out with Captain Paul and first mate Micah and had a great day fishing. Was pretty choppy so fish weren't biting like we wanted, but my son landed a nice Almacore Jack which we ate a couple nights later for dinner at our condo (delish!) and I hauled in a nice barracuda. Great hustle by Micah! Was a great time regardless of the fishing - I'd go again next time I'm in the Keys!

    Reported Catch
