This past weekend we had one great weather window before a cold front started to push through. The tide early in the morning was perfect, and the moon was full. Our chances looked good. We high speed wahoo trolled for a couple hours, trolling over different wrecks in the area. We caught a 33 pound wahoo and a 24 pound kingfish before at the end of the falling tide. Successful morning, targeted species acquired

Water color has been super green offshore, a few nice fish around but they are scare and scattered. We found some wahoo, mahi, and tuna in one trip, all solo. Reef has some big yellow tails but not big numbers.
Backcountry we are still finding some mangrove snapper and yellow jacks. No shortage of big sharks and cudas.

    Captain Larry took our Girls’ Trip ladies out for an afternoon cruise. We spent time leisurely snorkeling beautiful reefs then relaxing on the sand bar. The time went too quickly but we never felt rushed. Larry was very friendly and accommodating to our group.

    Trip: Private Offshore Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    We had an amazing time iguana hunting! There were thunderstorms in the distance when we arrived, and I honestly thought the trip would be canceled—but our guides, Wesley and Matt, knew exactly what they were doing. We never got a single drop of rain and they spotted way more iguanas than we ever would have on our own. The only thing I’d do differently is bring my own flashlight. They had plenty to share, but not enough for everyone to have one at the same time. Highly recommend this adventure!
