Gag grouper and red snapper seasons were amazing! We look forward to focusing on amberjack, red grouper, triggerfish, almaco jacks, and vermillion. Also hope to see the blackfin tuna showing up in the next couple weeks!

Red snapper has slow down in state waters, but it is towards the end of the red snapper season. Vermilion snapper, red grouper and some scamp grouper have been dependable.

***** Captain Trey was very kind and knowledgeable - he went above and beyond to make sure our boys were able to catch some fish and have a good time - he had all of the equipment and we had a wonderful day on the water.

Despite not catching anything big enough to keep, Jason made efforts to change locations and lures to give us the best chances. He expertly navigated pop-up storms and kept spirits high with a curated playlist. Even though we lost the "big one" as it snapped an 80-lb test line while darting under the boat, we had a great time and would fish with him again. The inclusion of a toilet on the boat, though small, was invaluable for our party of 4.

We had a great time! I didn’t know rays were so resilient that you could get them with an arrow and the would heal within a few days. Our guide Colby was awesome. He found a bunch of rays for us and helped us after each catch. Hew was awesome!

This was the first time son and I have ever fished saltwater. We have only fished freshwater. Capt. Kent and his wife were the best. We already told Capt. Kent everytime we are here we are booking him. Great time!
