About Your Trip

Round up the crew and get ready for an action-packed nearshore adventure with Captain Donny! Perfect for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking to experience the thrill of fishing the Gulf, this 4- to 6-hour trip will have you chasing some of the most sought-after species in the area—Snapper, Grouper, Hogfish, and more!

You'll be fishing aboard a 23’ Custom Hanson powered by a 200 HP Yamaha V6 Saltwater Series engine, built to handle the nearshore Gulf waters with ease. With room for up to 6 guests, this trip is all about comfort, excitement, and reeling in serious fish. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it’s your first time dropping a line, Captain Donny is ready to tailor the experience to your skill level and goals.

The boat is fully equipped with top-notch fishing technology, including GPS, a fishfinder, and a wireless trolling motor to keep your approach quiet and precise. A live bait well ensures your bait stays fresh and frisky, while an ice box keeps your snacks and drinks cool all day long.

On this trip, you'll head just off the coast to fish the Gulf’s productive nearshore reefs, ledges, and rock piles—prime habitat for hard-fighting Snapper, Grouper, and the ever-elusive (and delicious) Hogfish. Captain Donny primarily uses live bait and is up early every morning catching it fresh, ensuring you're set up for success right from the first cast.

All rods, reels, tackle, lures, and licenses are included, along with plenty of ice-cold bottled water for the ride. And when the fishing’s done, Captain Donny will clean and bag your catch at no extra cost—just one more way he makes your day on the water easy and memorable.

All you need to bring are your favorite snacks, sun protection, and a great attitude. Captain Donny will handle the rest, making sure you and your group have an incredible day fishing the Gulf!
