Fishing has been pretty good, Pelagics have been a little slower, but the bottom fishing bite has been awesome.

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

    Captain Richie, Quinten and Dexter were FIRST CLASS. They gave great advice upon booking, and their insight led us to a marvelous deep sea fishing day. We caught trigger fish, snapper and a couple grouper we needed to throw back. They kept us safe, made excellent conversation and facilitated an all round stellar day. It didn’t stop there - everything was cleaned, fillet and scaled as I requested. Just awesome. We will definitely book with them again next year. Thank you! - Rii

    Huge shout out to Cliff and Austin! Took my kids on their first fishing trip in the Gulf. Cliff got us on the fish and Austin kept us fishing reeling in the fish. Perfect family trip. The kids loved it. Cliff turned us on to Brotula's "catch and cook." Just topped off the trip eating our fresh catch.

    Trip: 30A Inshore Slam

    I took my three adult children out for a 3 hour fish in the lagoon, and Captain Jeff and his brother Jason were fantastic hosts. The fishing was slow but they did put us on some red snapper and everyone caught a few fish. They were very attentive and were great to us all. I would certainly recommend fishing with them. The boat was comfortable and I had no complaints. I will certainly look to fish with them again. I give them 5 stars. Thank you Jeff.
