Our half-day near-shore fishing trip with Mixed Bag Sportfishing & Offshore Adventures was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we stepped on board, Captain Rob and first mate Joe made the entire group feel comfortable, capable, and ready for a great day on the water, even with a steady 3-foot swell rolling through the Caribbean Sea.

We headed out to about 175 feet of depth, and that’s where the real excitement began. As one of the dads on the trip, the highlight for me was watching the three boys light up with pure excitement as they battled and brought in yellow stripe, blue runner, king mackerel and even sharks. The crew was patient, encouraging, and clearly experienced, making sure everyone had a chance to get in on the action.

The 40-foot center console Mixed Bag was the perfect vessel for the trip—spacious, stable, and well-equipped. Despite the conditions, the ride was smooth, and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun the entire time.

This was more than just a fishing trip—it was a memory we’ll all hold onto for a long time. An absolutely perfect day on the water. Huge thanks to Captain Rob and Joe for making it so special.

We had a great trip despite some choppy waters and fish not biting a ton. We moved around several times and we ultimately took a large Mackerel home! We caught a few others that had to be tossed back. Overall, would definitely recommend!
(We booked last minute due to our original booking with another company being cancelled)

Captain Rob and Joey were absolute gems. easy going, patient, forgiving of us beginners. They both made the trip so easy and so much fun! Relaxed and go-with-the-flow personalities made it comfortable and we caught a bunch of fish (the most important part). both were knowledgable about the ocean and the fish we brought in.  Highly reccomend them both! Only downside is we didn’t catch a mermaid but, there’s always next year!

The Captain Rob and Mate Joe were great.  The weather was rocky so we did bottom fishing with live pichards, resulting in lots of action, from false albacore to jacks to one of the largest snappers i’ve ever seen.  The Captain and mate were always helpful, polite, and knowledgeable - everything you could want in a charter.
