Michael Moore Carolina Beach, North Carolina Reported: 3 days ago

Wahoo and Blackfin tuna have been the catch lately. Wahoo has been 2 to 3, every trip, fin has been 5 to 10 every Trip. A few of the trips we would've been able to get a lot more black Fin but after you get your first few on the rock, the sharks find us and start eating them before we can get them to the boat so we had to move and find another group to catch.

Reported: 5 days ago

King fish are in thick offshore. Great time of year for multi species bottom fishing. Caught everything from triggerfish to scamp grouper not too far offshore. Inshore, snook and bull reds are in and when you get the tide right you have the chance for a fish of a lifetime.

What's Biting in Atlantic Ocean

★★★★★
My wife and I and 13 year old son went on a six hour spearfishing tour with Torre and it was by far the highlight of our trip to the Keys. We ended up with a fridge full of lobster, snapper, cero mackerel and yellow jack and we turned it into sashimi, ceviche, lobster macaroni and beer battered fish. We saw hammerheads, goliath groupers and sea turtles. My wife and I had never spear fished before but we had a great time; much better than fishing. Torre was an amazing guide and clearly knew where to go and what to look for. Next time we’re in the Keys, this will be our first stop.

Tom was a delight to be with for the day. He made it an pleasure with five (5) beginners. We tickled and netted more then we could eat for dinner for two nights. My family would recommend Tom to anyone.

Trip: Lobstering
★★★★★
Hunter and Valerie were awesome! Even in unideal conditions at the end of the season, we were still able to bring in a bunch of lobster. They made things quick and easy, and Hunter was communicating with me all throughout the planning process. Would absolutely book again.

We highly recommend using Capt. Will! Unfortunately the fish weren’t biting much, but Capt. Will and his First Mate made it a fun trip nonetheless. Great boat, plenty of room, bathroom, A/C, etc. We would definitely rebook with them!

Trip: Fort Lauderdale Offshore
★★★★★
We had an amazing time! Captain was friendly and very helpful. The captain recommended that we take our catch to Mac’s Place bar just steps from the marina and have it prepared. The staff and preparation were both amazing!! We will return to do it all again! Thanks Antonio!!

Trip: Key West Inshore, Nearshore, Jetty
★★★★★
Tom was great! He got our beginner group on lobsters and even though it was late in the season, we still caught a good amount of keepers. We inshore fished for a bit after we had enough water time. Fish were slow to bite but Tom worked hard to find hot spots so we could get on the fish. Great conversion, cool guy and overall we had a blast. I’d definitely recommend a trip with Captain Tom.
