An outstanding journey, with fish caught on every drift.

If you’re looking for a good time with good people and you want to catch a lot of fish, look no further. Ricky and Chad were amazing. My boyfriend and I had a great time and caught a lot of fish (amberjack, yellow jack, mahi & snapper). Highly highly recommend doing a full day of fishing with the full 8 hours.
