This is from dec but they are just starting to show back up with the blackfin tuna in close.
8 over 100# were caught on the piers (Pcola & Navarre )
And 3 by boat,
Hooked ours around 7am , fought for a hr 15 min , at the end the angler just felt " dead weight " , we thought maybe it got 🦈 sharked, but it actually had a heart attack and was dead as a door nail!!!!
150# on a certified ifga scale, hooked it in 35ft , landed in 40ft. Crazy stuff!

My kids and I had a great time and experience. Captain Kent and Bobbi were so kind. They made every effort to give us a great experience. We caught several amberjack and false albacore. Captain Kent was a true professional who really loves what he does. He touched base a couple times leading up to our trip answering any of our questions. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get out on the water for a good fishing experience.

Had a great experience shooting coastal ducks for the first time! I booked the hunt for my sons birthday and he said it was best birthday ever ! Weather was nasty to start even snowed some but our guide Alex didn’t let spoil the trip. He worked his butt off to make sure we got some birds and we’ll definitely be going back.

Great trip! Tony and his crew waste no time in finding the fish and getting you on the right spot to be successful. The first mates (Chris and Reed) were great, make it simple for beginners and get your fish cleaned up and ready to eat. Highly recommend the experience.
