Just remember to get out early to beat the heat as the bite has been over around 11 am.

Wonderful experience. Captain Mike was great and accommodated us wanting to go offshore, he got us catching fish quick even though there was a recent red tide that killed off a bunch of fish. He was super nice, let the kids ride up top with him when he was driving, kept us baited at all times and even cleaned our catches for us.

Captain Mike was great! We had a blast and enjoyed learning about local fish and the seas. Would highly reccomend his fishing trips to anyone! He gave us options of different types of fishing too which was super neat.
