The snapper bite has been a little off kilter this season. However, if you put in the work there are still some monsters swimming around out there. The vermillion bite is still very solid. However, if you can get them to the boat before the dolphins snatch them off your line your doing good. The deep troll offshore from the edge outward has really been on fire lately. A lot of great catches being reported of Mahi, Wahoo, and some monster Cobia.

Snapper season is in full swing. There are lots of opportunities for the offshore bite to include mixed bags of Mangroves, vermillion, and of course those reds. Slow trolling live cigars or sardines is starting to produce some awesome king Mackerel catches. We are looking forward to July when those...

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.

Great Experience! We had a great time. Captain Kyle did a great job finding spots to catch in and provided a smooth ride. Our deckhand Tristan was outstanding! Friendly, helpful, efficient and an overall nice guy. He kept our rods ready with bait, patient when taking our pictures, he made this day extremely enjoyable.

Trip: 3 Hour Inshore/Offshore

We were quite disappointed in our experience. Cade is a nice young man, but asked us nothing about our fishing experience or expectations for the day. Our first fishing spot was about 300 yards from the launch ramp where we caught about 5 or 6 fish, with the biggest being about 8 inches. We then traveled about 35 minutes to the second location which was under a highway bridge.. We caught about 4 or 5 fish, with the biggest being about 10 inches. I understand that the guide cannot be responsible for the fish caught but it seemed like we were in locations that were targeting smaller fish. For the cost of the trip, we were expecting more of a "Gulf charter fishing experience." I would recommend not using this venue.

Josh was very knowledgeable and friendly. Got us on fish early. Did pretty decent considering that fishing has been slow. Well definitely use him again.
