The bite has been good when the weather allows us to get where they are. Night bite is still the best and temps are so much better than the day.

    Mike was an awesome captain cannot thank him enough for being patient with my son. We caught what we could and had a blast doing it. Got to go fast and catch fish what else can you ask for!

    Trip: 3-Hour Kids Fun Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Richie, Quinten and Dexter were FIRST CLASS. They gave great advice upon booking, and their insight led us to a marvelous deep sea fishing day. We caught trigger fish, snapper and a couple grouper we needed to throw back. They kept us safe, made excellent conversation and facilitated an all round stellar day. It didn’t stop there - everything was cleaned, fillet and scaled as I requested. Just awesome. We will definitely book with them again next year. Thank you! - Rii

    Huge shout out to Cliff and Austin! Took my kids on their first fishing trip in the Gulf. Cliff got us on the fish and Austin kept us fishing reeling in the fish. Perfect family trip. The kids loved it. Cliff turned us on to Brotula's "catch and cook." Just topped off the trip eating our fresh catch.
