Average 2-4' seas. Bait has been hard to find/catch. Our new Contender with the Sea Keeper ride makes for a great cruise experience offshore.

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.

Kevin Moran
New Smyrna Beach, Florida
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.

Gag grouper and red snapper seasons were amazing! We look forward to focusing on amberjack, red grouper, triggerfish, almaco jacks, and vermillion. Also hope to see the blackfin tuna showing up in the next couple weeks!

We had a great time! I didn’t know rays were so resilient that you could get them with an arrow and the would heal within a few days. Our guide Colby was awesome. He found a bunch of rays for us and helped us after each catch. Hew was awesome!
