Fish amidst the mysteries of shipwrecks, hard bottom reefs up to 9 miles from Shore.
Duration
8 Hours
About
We will fish anything from wrecks, reefs, and hard bottom in the Gulf of Mexico. Depending on the time of year our targets will consist of Cobia, Grouper, Tripletail, and my personal favorite the Permit. I often describe a permit to my customers as a "Jack Crevalle on steroids." There’s just is nothing like sighting a 35lb+ Permit swimming by the boat, throwing a crab in front of him and watching him eat it. This is followed by that wonderful sound of the drag singing its sweet tune. All Above Species are Seasonal Species

Adventure Tips
Arrive Early and Bring Sun Protection
Getting to the dock early ensures you're prepared for the day, and packing sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses will keep you protected from the sun’s rays.
Bring Your Favorite Tackle
While the charter provides basic equipment, bringing your own tackle can improve your chances of catching your target species.
Stay Hydrated Throughout the Day
Dehydration can sneak up in the sunny Florida weather, so carry plenty of water and take breaks as needed.

Weather can change quickly on the water, so monitor the forecast to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip.
