King fish are still in town. The bite has been amazing on the reef. Grouper season opened back up, time to fill the freezers!

Yoan Alvarez Miami, Florida Reported: 2 years ago

April started on a high note , with spring on us fish are getting very aggressive and protecting their fry so it is that time when a big strike on a top water lures shows up
My last trip was a peacock bass trip , after 50 I lost count and it was at mid day trip so I think we ended on 80+ , 3 pounds was the standard size but probably 15 over 4 pounds

Perfect bachelor party in the Everglades. It was a really good trip. Caught a lot of trout, snapper, grouper, and snook in Everglades national Park.

Fantastic experience with Ricky, and it didn’t hurt that we caught 30 plus fish (five different species) in four hours!

Bryan is a great Captain! We had an awesome time
Frank S. | November 23, 2025

Trip: Special Midweek 5hr Big Game Trip
★★★★★
We had a wonderful fishing trip with Bryan. He was very knowledgeable and helped us immensely since we had little to no experience offshore fishing. We could feel that he cared about us catching a fish and that he was trying to fulfill. In the end, we caught 3 fish - 2 rainbow runners and 1 mutton snapper and lost 3 fish. We are super happy.

Trip: Iguana Hunt
★★★★★
We highly recommend using Capt. Will! Unfortunately the fish weren’t biting much, but Capt. Will and his First Mate made it a fun trip nonetheless. Great boat, plenty of room, bathroom, A/C, etc. We would definitely rebook with them!
