The weather has been terrible lately, but we have been scraping tooth and nail to stay on the i shore bite! When we can get offshore the mackerel are thick and so are the snapper!!! Plenty of openings between myself and Mike, looks like next week we have quite a few days in the forecast to go out to the snapper grounds and hammer down!!

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!

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!
