Full Day Fishing Trips will leave the dock at 8am and return at 4pm. This is my personal favorite charter option because it allows us time to usually do a little bit of everything, and get out to further spots that see a lot less pressure from the everyday angler. Offshore trolling for Pelagics at the start and then move into the reefs and wrecks later on in the day. On full days we can run around 40 miles offshore, but this may vary according to conditions like wind, current, seas, and what's been biting best. I always do my very best to contact you prior to the trip's departure and ask if you have a preference for the day's target species or any other special requests.
