Good day offshore. seas were awesome. weather was perfect
Today was a bit sporty, but still managed to bring home dinner
In Vero Beach, FL, we embarked on a catfishing adventure and had the exhilarating experience of catching some impressive beasts. The excitement of reeling in these formidable catfish added a memorable touch to our day. Each catch showcased the thrill of the fishing expedition, making it a truly unforgettable outing. It's not just about the catch; the catch-and-release approach ensured the continued thriving of these magnificent creatures in the local waters. Our time in Vero Beach left us with lasting memories of both the excitement of the catch and the responsible practice of releasing these impressive catfish.

It was my wife’s first time deep sea fishing and we had a great trip. Captain Justin knew what he was doing and we caught 6 king fish on a half day trip. I would highly recommend booking with him.

The captain and his deckhand were always focused on ensuring we stayed on the fish, quickly getting our lines back in the water after every catch.

Captain Justin is fantastic – this is our second trip with him, and we had an amazing time. He knows exactly where to find the fish and has top-notch equipment. His boats are ideal for the ocean, and we’ll definitely be back for another fishing trip in the future! My son had a blast too – a bird even landed on him while fishing, and he thought it was hilarious. We had an unforgettable time!
