About Your Trip

On this trip, you'll head out with Captain Melissa and bag some delicious Red Snappers! These fish are a blast to catch and are world-famous for their flaky fillets. Due to the highly limited season, these trips fill up fast, so book ahead of time for the best chances.

In addition to the Red Snapper, you'll be able to hook a variety of nearshore species, including a bunch of Snappers and Groupers, Jacks, Mackerels, Tripletail, Hogfish, Grunts, Sheepshead, and more! You'll chase these fish with different techniques, from trolling to jigging to bottomfishing. Captain Melissa will point you in the right direction, tackle-wise, and do everything she can to help you reel in a personal best.

Captain Melissa grew up on the Gulf and is extremely experienced; she knows how to put you on the fish fast, so with some luck you'll be hooking up almost as soon as you leave the dock. Everything you need for a successful day is included: rods, reels, bait, tackle, and most importantly, your Captain's expertise.

On the morning of the trip, you'll head out aboard Melissa's sleek 35' Donzi center console, powered by twin Suzuki 350s. This vessel is perfect for tackling nearshore and offshore waters, and includes all the necessary safety gear and navigation electronics needed for a productive and comfortable trip.

All you need to bring is a smile, proper clothing, a hat, and sunscreen, drinks and snacks—Captain Melissa will do the rest!
