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

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.

    Trip: Offshore Fishing Tour

  • ★★★★★
    Justin aka Captain Hawkeye was amazing on the water! The whole Cast n Blast experience far exceeded our expectations! He guided us to an array of fish species throughout the trip including the Peacock Bass and ensured all passengers caught their fair share. Midday he prepared a shore lunch feast that was absolutely delicious and fueled us for the afternoon hunt where Justin was relentless putting us on numerous iguanas! To top the whole day off, Justin introduced us to his friendly gator Fast Eddie who put on a show and completed the full Everglades experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

    Cris was a fantastic Captain. We went with two kids aged 7 and 9. We not only fished, the kids had a wonderful experience as Cris sliced the tuna for us to take home with us. I would definitely recommend Cris as your captain.
