Captain Tyler initiated confirmation texting with excellent directions straight to the boat! We charter fish every year and this is our 4th company. We wanted a variety of catchable fish for kids, good eating fish and ideally a large trophy catch. Limited by time 5-6 hrs and 12โ14 year old children with limited ability to pull heavy fish or tolerate long traveling.
We immediately started trolling from bridge and 2-5mi from shore, catching good size โTunieโ fish (7 or 8 fish) which are fun and easy for kids. Pretty fish (ok, but not great to eat).
Then we bottom fished. Lots of small-medium vermillion (red fish-good eating keepers, but small 12-16inch). Also caught red snappers, grouper, trigger (throw back-out of season, but great fighters).
Likely more lucky, we had caught plenty and had enough time to bottom fish for amber jack! Caught 2!!! (32 inch- throw back because too small and a 35 inch keeper!!!).
Lastly, Allen (boat hand) filleted the fish and bagged it up! He worked hard especially while bottom fishing helping the kids and keeping hooks in the water!
Pros:
-Knowledgable allowing customizing trip as needed (weather, goals, kids, time, etc).
-super clean boat with great air conditioning!
-great communication (Youโll never appreciate it until you have somebody that is bad at it)
-Filleted and bags fish. (Not all places do that. and some charge extra).
-con: 6 person limit
