    Trip: Key West Mixed Bag Trip

    Took a 6 hour trip on August Holiday booking was very easy, for a group of 4 adults. We had a wonderful day trip fishing with one of the charter skippers, Captain Des Bot he and his Mate Jamie were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful we really could not have wished for a more helpful experience especially as we are far from experienced at fishing especially in Florida. The results we managed to obtain targeting fish we could eat and have some fun with could not have been better delivered. For the table we caught plenty of Snapper all varieties more than enough to feed out family of 8. We also managed to have a lot of fun with Grouper both red and small Goliath. All was delivered over three or 4 locations on the Bay side due to rough conditions in the gulf, so it made for a very rewarding comfortable da. To cap it all off the catch was all expertly prepared and bagged ready for us to take to a superb recommendation location Sparky's Landing who prepared a beautiful variety of meals, blackend, tacos and crumbed the snapper was just beautiful. all in all I could not be happier with the service and value.

    Had a great trip with Brad. He was prompt and polite, but most importantly, a very attentive and experienced captain. He gave us many options for our outing and let us determine the course of our day. Highly recommend!
