I was in Florida visiting some relatives and wanted to do a fishing trip. I called up Bluewater fishing charter and he fit me in for a trip out of Homosassa & he put us on the fish. The wife & I are planning a trip for this coming year in 2022 to go off the other side into the Atlantic. With no doubt he’s going to put us on fish. See you soon Rodney. Fish On!
