One of the best fishing trips we’ve had, thanks to Captain John! Can’t wait to go back.

We caught three sharks in just about two hours before heading in early due to a bit of seasickness in our group. Still, it was a great trip—and landing a 90 lb blacktip shark was the highlight!

There were three of us on board, and the fishing didn’t disappoint. The trip was split into two parts—first, we trolled and caught plenty of King Mackerel, some Cobia, and the occasional Lamprey. Then we switched to bottom fishing on two reefs about 110 feet deep, where the action was almost non-stop with Red and Vermillion Snapper, Porgies, and other bottom fish. Parker did a fantastic job managing everything—rigging lines, keeping the pace, piloting the boat, and even filleting the catch. We had a couple of minor hiccups: a quick fuel stop at the start due to storms the day before, and some time spent looking for live bait without success. But overall, it was a very satisfying and well-run trip.

We had a great time on our trip—caught everything from small porgies to amberjack, grouper, snapper, and even a shark. Our captain really knew where to go. Highly recommend Fin and Fly Charter!

Our whole family had an amazing experience from start to finish! The boat was great, but it was Captain Parker—aka Cooper—who really made the trip special. He was professional, friendly, informative, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly accommodating. We left with unforgettable memories and photos we’ll treasure for years. Fin and Fly Charters was affordable and exceeded all our expectations. Highly recommend!
