About Your Trip

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or new to fishing, Captain Chad’s 10 years of experience, passion for the sport, and commitment to creating lasting memories will make your trip an adventure you won’t forget. From nearshore waters to offshore reefs and wrecks, this trip offers incredible opportunities to catch a wide variety of fish while enjoying the stunning
natural beauty of Florida’s coast.
Your fishing platform for the day is a 27’ Sea Fox center console, a spacious and versatile boat powered by twin 150 HP Yamaha engines. Equipped with state-of-the-art GPS, fishfinder, and radio technology, the boat ensures a smooth, safe, and efficient ride to the best fishing spots. Outriggers, downriggers, and a livewell are all onboard to give you every advantage in landing your catch. For your comfort, the boat also features a portable toilet and plenty of space for up to four anglers.
Captain Chad will guide you to some of the most productive waters in the area, targeting species such as Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Gag Grouper, Amberjack, King Mackerel, Triggerfish, Black Seabass, Cobia, and more. Depending on the trip, you’ll venture 8–40 miles offshore to fish reefs, wrecks, and other hotspots using techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, and deep sea fishing. With so many prized species to chase, every trip is packed with excitement and opportunities to reel in something impressive.
Trips are offered in 6-hour and 8-hour options to suit your schedule and fishing goals. On a 6-hour trip, you’ll have plenty of time to explore nearshore waters and venture further out, targeting a wide range of species like Snapper, Triggerfish, Grouper, Cobia, and King Mackerel. For those looking to maximize their time on the water, the 8-hour trip is ideal—it’s perfect for those wanting a full day to chase trophy fish like Amberjack and Gag Grouper while enjoying the sun and sea.
