About Your Trip

If you’re looking for a more interactive fishing experience, Captain Mike’s bottom fishing trips are the way to go! These trips range from 6 to 12 hours, with longer trips taking you farther offshore for even bigger and better catches. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a family looking for an action-packed day on the water, bottom fishing is a fantastic way to reel in a variety of hard-fighting and delicious fish.

What to Expect
on a Bottom Fishing Trip
Unlike trolling, bottom fishing is all about dropping your line straight down and feeling the bite! We’ll travel 10 to 50 miles offshore, depending on the length of your trip, and hold the boat steady over artificial reefs and natural bottom structures. These areas are teeming with fish, giving everyone on board a shot at landing something impressive.
The longer the trip, the deeper we go—and the more fish we catch!

Target Species
Bottom fishing produces some of the tastiest and toughest fish in the Gulf, including:
- Red Snapper – One of the most popular catches, known for its delicious fillets.
- Amberjack – A powerhouse fish that delivers an epic fight.
- Grouper – A deep-water favorite with strong pulls and great table fare.
- Triggerfish & Vermilion Snapper – Tasty reef dwellers that provide fast action.
- Sharks & Other Reef Fish – You never know what you’ll pull up from the depths!

Who This Trip is Best For
- Families – A great hands-on experience for all ages!
- Experienced Anglers – Perfect for those looking to catch a variety of species.
- Adventure Seekers – If you want to go further offshore for bigger fish, this is your trip!

What to Bring
Snacks, drinks, and sunscreen
Comfortable clothing and non-slip shoes
A cooler for your cleaned and filleted fish
A camera to capture your best catches

Bottom fishing with Captain Mike is a thrilling, hands-on experience that offers non-stop action and plenty of opportunities to take home some fresh Gulf seafood. Whether you’re battling a powerful Amberjack or reeling up a tasty Red Snapper, this trip is sure to deliver unforgettable memories.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 2,000+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
