The bottom fishing off of SW Florida can be described as nothing short of excellent. The only downside to the fishing on this coast is you need to make longer runs to get to the fishy waters. It is my opinion that the quality of fish increases dramatically the further you go out. With this said, a good quantity of fish can be caught on all trips, but the quality is the variable. For your best chance at landing a trophy, read through the blurbs to set the right expectations and select the right trip for your goals. This is a nice trip to catch some fish and bring a few home to eat. We will catch keeper sized grouper on this trip. This is a nice moderate trip if you want to catch keeper fish but not be out all day. We usually catch enough fish for a good fish fry. Primary targets include Red Grouper, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper & Vermillion Snapper. Read More

    Captain Kenny was outstanding. He got us reeling in fish right away. We kept him bust baiting hooks and netting big fish until it was time to call it a day. Great day fishing. Highly recommend, thank you very much. Looking forward to another fishing trip with him next year.

    Had a great time. Even though the fish weren't hitting hard, we caught some and the captain was very patient and worked hard to make it a great experience.

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Rich was by far the best captain we have ever had during our fishing adventures! His boat was very comfortable. He made the effort to go to the fishing spots that would get us the most action. He was fun, funny and very quick to re-bait our hooks as soon as we lost our bait to the "nibblers" out there. My fiance and I cannot wait to go out with him again! Janet
