About
For Half-day trips, we fish from 10-20 miles offshore. Our typical fishing technique on half-day trips is slow trolling for species such as kingfish, cobia, sailfish, mahi, tuna, sharks, and barracuda.
If the slow trolling action is slow we switch gears to bottom fishing for a variety of snapper species, trigger fish, sea bass, sharks, and anything else that decides to bite.
