Full moon and night trips are a great way to take advantage of Florida’s cooler climate as well as catching night feeding fish. It is proven that certain species of fish feed more at night during the full moon cycle because of stronger tides. We will target snook, tarpon, grouper, lane snapper, yellowtail snapper, mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, shark, and permit.

Combination trips are a great way to knock out several peoples interest all in one trip. Kids and non-anglers get bored of watching us enthusiastic angler’s having our fill of fun. This trip you can pick between fishing, sightseeing, shelling, and scuba diving. Let the kids play and swim while the adults lounge on an island sipping on cocktails. Or set out and venture the island and find the awesome shells you won’t find on those crowded beaches. Deep Sea, Offshore, Backwater Fishing Charters

If you are looking for a long range trip in the 20-40 mile range or further we can customize this trip to target select species of fish whether for game or table fare. These trips run  to twelve hours in length and can be extended to accommodate your expectations.

You can expect to catch several species of snapper from lane snapper, yellowtail snapper, mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, red snapper, gag grouper, red grouper, black grouper, amberjack, cobia, king mackerel, tuna, bonita, goliath grouper, sharks, and many other reef fish. The types of structure we fish range from natural coral bottom, ledges, wrecks, reefs, springs, which have been proven high activity spots which have been all dove by our dive team to ensure when we fish a spot there is no guess work to where the fish are at. Deep Sea, Offshore, Backwater Fishing Charters

Backwater or Back Bay Fishing Trips stay in the calmer waters within the mangrove estuaries where we target a large variety of species. All backwater trips are catch and release so we can give every guest an amazing experience. Since we use shallow water boats for these trips we are limited to four guests plus the Captain. If you would like to keep a variety of species or have your catch processed and shipped home we offer Long Range Fishing Trips. Deep Sea, Offshore, Backwater Fishing Charters

To ensure the best success there are many factors to take in consideration from tide, barometric pressure, moon phase as well as many other factors. Our team will do everything possible to put all these conditions into play when choosing the best time to schedule your departure time and length of trip. Please remember we are not commercial fishermen and our main goal is to give you the best fishing experience possible while practicing conservation. With the devastation from red tides each year our fish stocks are at a critical all time low as well as all marine life. We do not keep any reef fish inshore of 20 miles but can select harvest some migratory species giving your guests an opportunity to taste fish at its freshest. All backwater trips are catch and release so we can give every guest an amazing experience. If you would like to keep a variety of species or have your catch processed and shipped home we offer Long Range Fishing Trips. See above for rates.

Being fishermen ourselves we love to eat fish but in order to give you and all our clients the best trip possible we promote catch and release on all our trips with the exception to keeping that one right fish which may feed the entire party or only keep enough fish for everyone on board to have a fresh meal.

We ARE NOT a kill boat and will not keep limits of any species as any full time, long term Captain would not. Our fishery can’t handle that kind of pressure. We leave that up to the commercial fishermen that fish areas far enough out that do not effect our fishing. For clients that want to keep more than enough for a meal, please request this type of trip which at that point we would put you on one of our long range commercial trips that would not have an impact on our recreational fishing spots. This is why we are so successful and why we catch big fish 90 % of the time.

All of our charters are designed to give our clients an opportunity to catch that fish of a lifetime. We employ only the most qualified Captains and Crew for the type of fishing you will be doing. Regardless of your expertise our staff is trained to teach each fishermen new techniques which will ensure you have the best chance of landing that big fish and learning something new.
