He's been fishing this area for more than fifteen years, and has a deep knowledge of the Gulf of Mexico, from the inshore to offshore waters. On this deep-sea trip, you'll go after some of the biggest, baddest fish that the Gulf has to offer. That includes Swordfish, a deepwater predator that's a famously good fighter, in addition to some epic bottom fish including Black Grouper and Tilefish, both known as delicious table fare. You'll use several different techniques on this trip, including deep-dropping, trolling, and drifting to attract bites from different parts of the water column. You can relax between bites, but keep an eye on those rod tips! Captain Randall runs his deep sea fishing adventures aboard his 30' Contender center console, a badass boat built to tackle anything the Gulf can throw at you. She sports a 200-HP Yamaha engine for maximum speed, and is kitted out with amenities to improve your fishing. That includes live wells for your bait, an ice box for your keepers, and more!

Once you get out over the offshore reefs and structure, you'll also be able to drop your lines deep to target Gag and Black Grouper. Many captains would agree that these species are some of the tastiest fish in the Gulf, so make sure to keep a few for dinner.

    We went out on Tuesday which was originally scheduled for Monday but the weather didn’t cooperate and we were thankful that captain Seth suggested going out the next day. The weather was perfect and he put us on the snapper. We had a big group of people with a couple of first timers and everyone caught their limit and and had a great time. I would highly recommend this charter to anyone wanting to have a great time and load up on fish.

    Jerry and his sidekick were incredible. We haven’t been fishing for the past 10 years or so, and they showed us the ropes again. Weather was great and our catch was nice considering the fact that I got seasick. Not because of them. I’d recommend again!!!
