Bottom fishing has been active with plenty of vermillion, mangrove, red, and lane snapper being caught. Aj's are fired up too which makes bottom fishing all the more fun! Sharks seem to always be an option for adventurous angles too!

Fishing is very good right now! Chilly, but worth it. Red snappers are open until December 31st, triggers are the same! Plenty of mingos and flounders just starting to show up with the cold

    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.

    Cliff and his mate Austin were incredible! Such great guys. We had a great day, caught lots of fish and enjoyed a great day on the water. Would definitely fish with them again!

    ***** 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.

    Trip: Family Special - 22’ TranSport

  • ★★★★★
    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.

    Trip: Let's GO! DEEP Offshore Trip

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time! I didn’t know rays were so resilient that you could get them with an arrow and the would heal within a few days. Our guide Colby was awesome. He found a bunch of rays for us and helped us after each catch. Hew was awesome!
