About

The "Turkey Point Trout Shootout" is a shallow waters fishing trip. Turkey Point is just west of the marina making for a quick short ride. It's somewhat protected waters, so its a great trip for those that don't have their sea legs yet. We have substituted this trip for the "Reef Runner" when the seas are rough and the customer still wants to fish. Trout is the target species we fish for. We fish by drifting in shallow water, casting (shootout) light tackle with artificial lures on floating poppers. You slowly retrieve your lure, the fish will strike and the fight is on. We also will have a live bait out there just waiting for something big to strike. Bluefish, Ladyfish, Spanish Mackerel and Shark are other fish that are often caught on this trip. During this trip the boat will be drifting close to shore at most times. This fishing trip is available March-October only, no fishing licence is required.

Complimentary bottled water and snacks. Alcoholic beverages are not permitted due to insurance restrictions.

**Cruise is exclusive to you, your family and friends, up to four adults.
