Fishing has been decent considering another summer of extremely warm waters Offshore Mahi have started to show up in decent numbers but most fish are smaller with a few decent fish here and there . Tuna has been consistent on the Humps , and deep dropping has been good when the sharks allow . Reef wreck The yellowtail night has been very good with several flags being boated just an about every trip we targeted them . Patch's reefs have produced great stacks of yellow Jack and cero mackerel an and decent mangrove snapper as well. The occasional African pompano has also been showing up on wrecks as well which is always a nice surprise All in all fishing continues to be relatively steady and we look forward to making more memories with our clients through the summer 🤙

We were on a pretty constant Bonefish bite till this past cold front, but the patch reefs are holding Mangrove, Yellowtail, YellowJacks, and Grouper. The next 5 to 6 days we'll be dry docked till the wind lays

As the year winds down I want to share my gratitude to all my clients for helping make 23 yet another successful year in fishing and adventure. Thanks to Captains Experience for contribution as well, we're building a fine relationship and I hope it builds. The fishing this year has been on par with most trips and exceptional in many cases. We're seeing a transition in seasonal species and we will find great catches in a lil cooler weather. Looking forward to 24 being an awesome year with many exciting fishing adventures.

The bite has been hot! Even with this cold front, we've had a great snook & tarpon bite. There has been plenty of Pilchards around which has made live bait fishing our first choice. We have seen some juvenile Cubera Snapper as well. The inshore bite has been great recently

    Trip: Key Largo Reefs And Wrecks!

  • ★★★★★
    Chris was outstanding as a captain. Aside from is plentiful fishing knowledge and keeping us on bites all day long he was good to talk to and kept us on the fish the entire time we were out there. Even with a shorter half day trip Chris made sure to get us as much fish as possible in the shortened amount of time. The boat was very well kept and gave us many pointers as to how to prepare and cook the fish we caught. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back very soon!

    Paul and first mate Gary worked hard all day on our 8 hour trip offshore. Targeting Blackfin Tuna, Mackerel and Sailfish all day and keeping us over the fish with consistent bites. Would definitely recommend to anybody who wants a good experience offshore and will hopefully be back again in the future.

    Trip: Lobster Diving, And Snorkeling Trip

  • ★★★★★
    We used captain Chris for a lobstering charter. We had a 6 people including my son that is 8 years old who is very intuitive and ask tons of questions. I can say if enough how great he was with my son. He is very laid back and exceed expectations on showing us how to hunt for lobster. He made sure that everyone left with lobster. diner. 10 out of 10 experience. Will be recommending to everyone. Also has a great playlist on the boat.
