About Your Trip

This trip has something for everyone! Whether you opt for the half-day, three-quarter day, or full day trip, you'll kick things off by fishing the reefs, targeting a great mix of reef fish including Yellowtail Snapper, Mutton Snapper and Mangrove Snapper. You'll also troll and drift for pelagic species such as Sailfish, Tuna, and Kingfish, all super fast predatory species that fight like crazy! These fish love to hang out near reefs, looking for easy meals of baitfish and squid.

To draw in bites, you'll be running lures and bait at several different depths. No matter the season, your target species will be ready to grab a quick bite, which gives you a chance to bag a keeper! Captain Conan has been fishing here for years, and he knows exactly what to throw to bring the fish in.

You'll be fishing aboard his 32' SeaVee center console—an ideal boat for offshore runs. Her center console design allows you to fish all around the boat, and with twin 300-HP engines on the back, you'll be off the dock in no time. Get out there and have a blast!

Captain Conan and Alyssa were excellent. Here is a picture of me, Captain Conan and the giant Jack we caught (we used a blackfin tuna we caught earlier in the charter). He is clearly an experienced captain with an ability to put clients on fish.

BEST EXPERIENCE & EATS

We booked our offshore fishing charter last-minute (the day before we left), it ended up being the best part of our trip. We can’t wait to come back!

Captain Conan contacted us the evening prior to discuss a game plan and let us know exactly what we needed for preparation. Being our first offshore fishing adventure and having two kids, this was much appreciated. The waters were predicted to be somewhat rough with a wind presence. Conan emphasized maintaining safety as his priority despite the conditions. I can say we all felt safe for the duration of our trip.

Capt. Conan and his First Mate, Alyssa, met us at the docks and helped the kids onto the boat. ‘Just One More’ was ready to go: cooler was filled with ice for our food/ drinks; bluetooth hookup to speakers for necessary offshore soundtracks; bean bags available on deck for kids to chill in. As we headed offshore, Alyssa pointed out the dolphins, sea turtles and jelly fish we saw along the way.

Our offshore targets were dynamic, ranging from sailfish to permit; barracudas to snapper and barjack. We were able to hook many large fish, including barracuda (catch & release) plus a yellow barjack and many yellowtail snapper, which we were able to keep for eating. Conan processed our catch upon return to the dock, and also recommended a local restaurant to prepare our fish/ his go-to menu selections, which ended up being our best meal of the trip.

The ‘Just One More’ is a safe, clean, comfortable and spacious boat. Captain Conan proved to be just as passionate as he is knowledgeable when it comes to offshore fishing. Rather than simply looking to make a dollar, he cares to really create an experience for his customers. Conan was able appeal to both the kids and the provide thrill for the adults on our trip.
