Fishing: Fishing area can be near shore (bay to

depending on the customer’s request, the weather conditions, and the availability
of fish species at any given time of year. Most trips begin with the catching
of live bait, which requires us to be flexible concerning times. (See prices
and times below).

constraints.

From the captain: I have been fishing the inshore
and offshore waters of the Florida Suncoast for over 45 years. It is my goal
to make your fishing trip an exciting and memorable experience. Be sure to bring
your camera to record your memories and to share your pictures with family and
friends.
