Red snapper have been on fire these last few weeks! Had a small tropical system try to break our spirits, but as soon as it was gone, we started crushing them again! Triggerfish season is back open and we're excited to get offshore and bring some of them back to the dock as well!

Tripletail and jacks are the main target right now. We start out the morning catching jacks on fly, then switch over to targeting tripletail. Redfishing has been decent as well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Captain Bobby! He told us all about the area, the fish, and where to get the best seafood meals. We caught plenty of fish (and even a small shark!) so there was never any boredom in our two hours. 10/10 experience!

Trip: Young Angler Special!
★★★★★
We booked a fishing trip, but unfortunately the original charter ended up being double-booked. Thankfully, they quickly helped us find a replacement, and Alex was able to take us out on the water. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The weather was perfect, the boat was clean and comfortable, and the fish were definitely biting. Alex was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone had a great time. It was an awesome day on the water, and we would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun fishing adventure!
Cori J. | August 4, 2026

Trip: 4 Hour Trolling And Bottom Fishing
★★★★★
Our family had an incredible experience with Captain Pat! My boys had the best time and haven't stopped talking about the trip. The fishing was fantastic, and Captain Pat was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure everyone had a great time on the water. To top it all off, we took our catch back to the dock where it was cooked fresh—and it was absolutely delicious! If you're looking for a fun, memorable fishing trip with an outstanding captain, I can't recommend Captain Pat enough. We'll definitely be back!
