My 4 Hour Nearshore bottom-fishing trips are producing keeper Sea Bass. I expect the Atlantic Bonito and Gray Trout to show up at the nearshore reefs any day now. And my inshore trips are producing slot-sized reds and we caught our first flounder of the year today (4/1/26). So, Spring

My 10y/o son and I were looking to catch our first redfish and learn how to do it ourselves in the future. Michael was phenomenal! Not only did he get us on the fish, but he was a true professional and kind hearted teacher. He broke down each spot and the techniques needed to catch em. It was an all around exceptional experience; we will certainly be using Michael again for some spring time action!

This Charter was a BLAST! I booked this 8 hour charter for my husband’s birthday. His biggest dream since a little kid was to go out deep-sea fishing for big game fish specifically a king mackerel! Well they sure make my husband’s dream come true!!! We both caught our limit on what your allowed to take home (and more which we had to throw back) of that’s right…yep you guessed it….HE CAUGHT KING MACKEREL!!!! From our first step on the boat the captain and his deckhand made us feel so comfortable, like you’re just hanging out fishing with a couple of friends! They answered all my questions which trust me was a lot! They are both so friendly, down to earth, very hardworking and just a lot of fun! From start to finish the captain always made sure we were in the best spot to catch fish and the deckhand made sure we didn’t have to take care of anything except for having a great time. We had a blast with him the entire 8 hours! He took care of everything. He made sure all the poles stayed in the water and was right there bringing the fish on board when we got them to the boat and he even cleaned, cut and bagged them all up when we got to the dock. He didn’t sit down not one time! We would recommend these 2 guys to anybody who is looking for a deep-sea charter trip!!! They are the best and I promise you won’t be disappointed!!! If you want to catch big game fish and have the experience of a lifetime then these 2 are the charter to call! Thanks for making my husbands birthday unforgettable and the best birthday ever,! We will be repeat customers!
