Not much fish bitting but the Captain did his best to provide us with a great trip! It is still a fun experience for all of us!

Hands down the best fishing charter experience I've ever had! Captain Ruben is not only a skilled angler but also an incredible guide who goes above and beyond to ensure everyone on board has a fantastic time. From the moment we set foot on the boat, his passion for fishing and knowledge of the area were evident. We reeled in some massive Trout and Snapper, and I can't wait to book another trip with Reel Off Charters!
