About Your Trip

If you’re looking for a fun and laid-back fishing experience, Captain Mike’s trolling trips are the perfect choice! These 4- and 6-hour trips are ideal for beginners, families with young kids, or anyone who wants to enjoy a more relaxed style of fishing while still having the chance to hook some exciting fish.

What to Expect on a Trolling Trip: Trolling means keeping the boat moving while dragging baited lines behind it—no need to constantly cast or work a rod. With four lines in the water at all times, we’ll cruise through St. Andrews Bay, along the coast, and up to 6 miles offshore in search of fast-moving, hard-fighting fish.

This is a great trip for those who prefer a less hands-on approach or just want to soak in the beautiful Gulf waters while waiting for a rod to bend! The captain and crew will handle the setup, and when a fish strikes, it’s all yours to reel in.

Target Species: While trolling, you’ll have the chance to catch some of the most exciting migratory fish in the area, including:

🎣 Spanish Mackerel – A fun fish to fight, great for beginners.

🎣 King Mackerel – Known for their speed and strong runs.

🎣 Bonita – Hard-fighting and fast, perfect for an exciting battle.

🎣 Mahi-Mahi – A colorful, acrobatic fish that’s always a thrill to catch.

🎣 Other Seasonal Migratory Fish – Depending on the time of year, you might hook into a surprise catch!

Who This Trip is Best For

✔️ Beginners – No experience needed! The crew will guide you through everything.
✔️ Families with Kids – An easygoing trip that’s great for young anglers.
✔️ Casual Anglers – Perfect for those who love fishing but don’t want to spend the whole trip working the rods.

What to Bring

- Snacks, drinks, and sunscreen
- A hat and sunglasses for sun protection
- A camera to capture your catches
- A cooler to bring home your cleaned and filleted fish

If you want a fun, low-maintenance fishing trip with plenty of action, Captain Mike’s trolling trips are a fantastic option.
