About Your Trip

Experience what Florida's offshore fishing has to offer. Bottom fishing and trolling are both available. Certain times of the year are better for each so don’t worry, we will take care of that. Expect to catch a variety of fish. Snapper, porgy’s, grouper, mackerel, sharks, and more!
Ponce inlet has the best and most artificial reefs anywhere. Bottom fishing around ship wrecks and concrete rubble piles, along with natural ledges and reefs. We strive to maximize the action.
Trolling is great throughout the summer around current rips and temperature breaks. Favorite baits include rapala, and nomad diving plugs, ballyhoo and planers with spoons.
We have two coolers and a large coffin to accommodate your catch no matter how big it is. At the end of the trip back at the dock I will clean and package your catch. The only thing we don’t do is cook it!

Phenomenal experience for the kids first Deep Sea fishing trip. Aaron is extremely knowledgeable in his profession which resulted in us never waiting more than a few seconds on a fish to hit. Highly recommended!!

We had an amazing time with Aaron! He had a great personality, which made it a very enjoyable experience! We did the 8am charter and had a beautiful day. Aaron made sure that we all caught fish and was very accommodating rigging up our lines. I would highly recommend booking with Aaron! Thanks Aaron! 😉

Aaron was amazing! Very family friendly and it was my daughters first time even holding a fishing pole and she enjoyed every minute of it. We chose the inshore fishing and the other kids had a great a time also. My son caught a shark, it was cold when we went out (I didn’t check the weather before hand) but we were very comfortable on the boat and he was very accommodating with the weather....

I have many ways I could explain this trip I was unable to go so I sent my 218-year-old sons with their buddies and they had the time of their life. They couldn’t say enough about Captain Aaron. He made them feel right at home even after two of them puked. Plenty of fish were caught and plenty of memories made specially for two seniors 100% be going back to captain Aaron. But next time...
