Trip Updates

Hi everyone!! The fishing has been pretty good this last week. Half day trips are catching stringers of Grunts, SeaBass and Porgies with some "Keeper" Grouper thrown in. All trips have had the same with more Grouper, some catches have been up around 20 "keepers". Some fish weighing in the 12-15 pound range. We are watching the OIL SPILL daily and keeping our fingers crossed that it stays away. So far we have been lucky and our trips are running as scheduled. The 14 Hour trip is filling up, so make your reservation today and be sure to pay by 5/13 to guarantee your spot. The 34 Hour trip is filling up fast as well, make your reservation today. On last years trips, we had nearly 3,000 lbs. of fish on each trip. Stay tuned for more updates. Hope to see everyone soon!!! LET'S GO FISHING!!!

Several New Updates

Hi everyone!! I have several updates and comments for you all. First, in regards to the OIL SPILL in the northern gulf, we are not currently effected by the spill. We are keeping a close eye on the movement of the spill as it increases in size, and hope that it stays well away from us. All trips are running as scheduled with no sight of any changes in the near future. Keep an eye on our blog for further updates as needed. Fishing has been pretty decent. We have been catching several "keeper" grouper on both Half Day and All Day trips along with our usual Grunts, Sea Bass and Porgies. We have also been landing several nice king Fish on both trips. I would like you all to help me welcome back a long time employee, who took a small leave of absence from the company. Our newest Captain, Luke Palmer, has been back for a couple of weeks now and has been bringing in some nice catches on both the Half Day and All Day trips. Welcome back Luke!!! A reminder to all, we are currently taking reservations for our 14 Hour Trip on May 16th and our 34 Hour Trip on June 12th & 13th. Call today to reserve your spot on these trips. Watch the blog for further updates. Hope to see you all soon!!!

GROUPER SEASON IS FINALLY HERE!!!

Hi again everyone. After a long, cold and windy winter, it looks as though spring is finally here! The weather has been great and the fishing is getting better! Grouper season will open tomorrow and the people are coming out to catch 'em. We are looking pretty busy over the next week or so with all of the above factors coming together along with spring break and Easter vacation. If you are looking to come fishing, be sure to call and reserve your spot because the boats have been filling up. Also, if you are looking for a half day trip in the afternoon, be sure to allow plenty of travel time. The traffic has been heavy with beach goers so it can take up to 30 minutes or so to get across the causeway to the beach. Parking in the afternoon has been crazy so if you are going on the afternoon trip, it is best to get there around noon so you can grab the parking spots vacated by the morning patrons. Are 14 Hour trip is going on April 11th spots are limited and going fast. So if you are looking for that trip, call to reserve your spots today! Keep your eye on the blog for further trip info, including 34 Hour trips coming this June!!

See Ya Soon!! Capt. Chad
