We're literally catching them on bare hooks out there, don't know if there's ever been a better call to come fish than that!

    Captain Mike was great! The fish were being stubborn during our trip but that didn’t stop Captain Mike from trying his hardest to get us on some fish! We all ended up catching several fish and we each caught an amberjack! If you happen to hook one of those HOLD ON!!
