About Your Trip

Captain Mike specializes in fun weekend trips designed to have you catching fish, relaxing on the beautiful waters of the Gulf, and getting away from it all. Enjoy great views while you take on a wide variety of nearshore species, including Pompano, Grouper, Snapper, Hogfish, and most importantly, Sharks!

On this trip, you'll hone in on the top nearshore species, such as Scup, Porgy, Snappers, Groupers, and Sharks, including Bonnetheads, Bull Sharks, Blacktips, Lemon Sharks, and many others.

Captain Mike's 26' Key West center console boat is ideal for fishing the waters of the Gulf. Two 250HP Yamaha engines get you out to the prime fishing grounds fast, giving you more time to drop your line and pull up your catch.

Captain Mike will also provide everything you need for a perfect day on the water, including rods, reels, bait, tackle, ice, and cooler space you could ever want. Bring along some food and drinks, sunscreen, and proper clothing and you'll be set up for the trip of a lifetime!
