What to Expect on the Water

Our trips are all about giving you the best shot at landing some real beauties. We use a mix of techniques depending on what's biting and where. Might be trolling for wahoo offshore, or sight-casting to rolling tarpon inshore. Captain Robert's been doing this for years, so he knows all the local hotspots. We'll get you set up with everything from light tackle for inshore species to heavy-duty gear if we're chasing big game offshore. Don't worry if you're new to this - the captain's always happy to show you the ropes, from how to properly set the hook to the best way to handle your catch for a quick photo before release.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Folks love our trips because we keep things fun and laid-back, but we're serious about putting you on fish. It's not just about the catch, though - it's about the whole experience. You might see dolphins playing in our wake, or spot sea turtles cruising by. And there's nothing quite like watching the sun climb over the Atlantic as we head out in the morning. Plus, with a max of 4 guests, you're guaranteed plenty of personal attention and time with a rod in your hands. Just remember, deposits are non-refundable, so make sure you're good to go before you book!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Tarpon: These silver kings are the stuff of fishing legend. Growing up to 8 feet long and weighing in at 280 pounds, hooking into one of these monsters is like trying to stop a freight train. They're famous for their spectacular aerial displays - when a tarpon goes airborne, it's a sight you'll never forget. Best time to target them is late spring through summer when they're cruising our waters. Landing one of these beasts will give you bragging rights for years to come.

Barracuda: With their menacing teeth and lightning-fast strikes, 'cudas are one of the most exciting fish to catch. They'll hit lures and live bait with explosive force, often leaping clear out of the water in the process. These predators can grow up to 6 feet long, and they put up one heck of a fight. You'll find them year-round in our waters, but they're especially active in the warmer months. Just watch those teeth when you're unhooking them!

Greater Amberjack: Locally known as "reef donkeys" for their bull-headed fighting style, amberjacks are the ultimate test of an angler's strength and stamina. These powerful fish live around offshore wrecks and reefs, and they can grow to over 100 pounds. When you hook one, be prepared for a grueling battle - they'll dive for the bottom and refuse to give an inch. But the fight is worth it, as they're also excellent table fare. Peak season is typically fall through spring.

Wahoo: If you're after pure speed, wahoo are your target. These streamlined predators are one of the fastest fish in the sea, capable of short bursts up to 60 mph. They're a prized catch not just for the thrill of the chase, but also for their delicious, mild-flavored meat. Wahoo tend to be loners, so hooking into one is always a special treat. While they can be caught year-round, your best bet is during the cooler months from fall to early spring. When a wahoo hits, hold on tight - their initial run can strip hundreds of yards of line in seconds!
