Trolling is at 50/50 right now but bottom fishing is really good if you can get through the triggerfish! The FWC is going to have to make a no limit on them as they are taking over Reefs and Wrecks, we usually catch around 100 triggerfish with maybe 2 or...

Fished 3 times during past 10 days. Odds are pretty good on over slot reds for next few weeks. There's been plenty of slot sized reds for the taking. Also, the speckled trout bite has been good and should continue through most of next month. This time last year, the big uglies/black drum were chewing and giving everyone aboard a run for their money! Speckled trout, blue fish, and Spanish mackerel are beginning to move in... another fun fish on light tackle

The trout bite is on! We are getting limits of trout the last few days. Good weather and good tides plus warm water have the trout bite at its peak! Using live or artificial baits, it really good.

well worth the time, effort, money to do this trip exclusively with your family. 10/10 trip. I caught 20 fish and there were 7 other people. We kept some snapper, everything else were all thrown back in the ocean.

***** 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.
