About Your Trip

Captain Gene takes fishing to a whole new level, and this trip is no exception! We call this trip a "combo" because you can do a bit of everything, including bottomfishing and trolling, in just one trip. You'll start off trolling a deep-sea ledge for Sailfish and Mahi, which love to congregate around drop-offs, then on the way back you can drop your baits down to the bottom and hit the reefs for Grouper, Snappers, and Triggerfish. It's a perfect mix of electrifying sportfishing and bottomfishing, so you can have a blast while also taking home several different kinds of excellent table fare. No matter if you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, Captain Gene will lead the way!
