We are still seeing good numbers of Red Grouper! Also super stoked with opening of triggerfish! As always we have plenty of vermillion snapper around to add to the haul! Mild temps and good fishing make for great days!

Captain David was really friendly and had the knowledge it took to catch fish. He took extra time to show/teach 9 year old grandson how to catch 4 different species of saltwater fish. Thanks again captain.

We did the 5 hour trip. It was a blast. The only thing I would chance is taking a longer trip so we could go and catch some of the more “sport fish”. Also I would also recommend the morning! An amazing crew and couldn’t of had a better time!

We had a great time and caught what we were after, red fish. Even got two keepers! David is a good captain because he didn’t waste time in spots he knew would not get any fish. Kept us on the move and eventually to the spots the fish were at.
