About
A half-day trip is the shortest offered: 4 hours of fishing on the reef and wrecks, depending on what you want to catch. The trip starts with catching live bait. Then we collaborate to make a decision: “swing for the fences” and try our luck catching something big on the wrecks or heading to the reef to anchor up and catch Snapper and Grouper.
What's Included
- Fresh cut bait
- Ice
- Water
- Chum
- Oats
We also clean your catch at the end of every trip!
