About
The "Reef Runner" Fishing Trip is a run of about 3 miles offshore to Dog Island Reef. The reef is about 7 miles long and carries a depth of 2 to 6 feet with the surrounding waters steeply dropping off to near 20 feet. This makes for amazing fish habitat. We fish by trolling lures behind the boat while skirting the Reef. Our target fish is the Spanish Mackerel, a good eating hard fighting and abundant species during the season. Other Fish that are caught are Blue Fish & Lady Fish, these are quickly identified since they are real jumpers when hooked. Fun to catch but not the best for table fare. Last but not least is the chance you may hook into a Smoker Kingfish. During this trip the boat will be on the move at most times.
This fishing trip is available March-September only, no fishing licence is required.
