Had a great time! Lost a couple big fish but where able to get a bunch over the rails! Live and cut Menhaden with 8-14oz of lead to stay on bottom. Pulled up and removed 1 old crab pot and rope and 1 anchor rope that had been snagged many times!

Captain Derrick is awesome! He accommodated our specific requests. He was great with communication, friendly and kept us safe on our adventure. I highly recommend booking your charter with Blue Light Charters! We saw a ton of dolphins, many sharks and a gorgeous sunset.

Derrick is an awesome captain that takes his time teaching fishing techniques. I had a blast on both charters I have booked with him. We caught a variety of species and stayed on the fish. In the picture is three slot reds caught within 5 mins of each other.
