Our light tackle deep sea fishing trips run daily into the Gulf of Mexico. We offer daily 4 and 6 hour fishing trips. Call if you are interested in a longer trip, we can accommodate! Our trips are low stress, no pressure, no hassle, come as you are and be prepared to enjoy your fish catching experience. We normally fish all the depths of the water that we are in. We use light tackle as this helps generate many more bites. We drop baits all the way down to the bottom to catch the fish that live and feed on the bottom. We also have baits free floating with the tide and wind to catch the fish that live and feed off of the bottom. We place chum in the water to attract the fish. On our light tackle deep sea trips we catch Red, Black and Gag Grouper, Lane, Grey and Yellowtail Snapper, Key West Grunts, Porgies, Sand Perch, Flounder, Triggerfish, Mackerel, Red Snapper, King Mackerel, Shark, Amberjack, Sea Bass, Barracuda, Cobia, etc... We do offer longer trips farther out into the Gulf. Please call 941-809-5393 to discuss those trips, to buy your spots on the boat, or if you have any other questions.

We have a 40 foot boat that has been inspected and approved by the United States Coast Guard, complete with an air conditioned cabin and a full size restroom. No crowds on the boat so we can guarantee you that you will catch fish.

We offer a NO FISH NO PAY policy on our light tackle deep sea fishing trips. If you do not catch any fish you can come back and go on another trip for free. This has never happened as everyone always catches fish on our boats, but there is always a first time for everything.

All trips are subject to change. Each trip requires a minimum of 10 passengers.

Light Tackle Inshore Trips:

To book your trip, please call 941-809-5393

Our inshore / bay trips run everyday. On these trips we get our bait and go fishing. We use light tackle to fish with as this helps generate many more bites. We fish canals, bayous, around the small islands and the bridges in the intracoastal waterway and in the bays. We usually free line our baits and let the wind and tide move the bait naturally generating many more bites. The times for the trips are very flexible and can be adjusted to your schedule. Please call us at 941-809-5393 to discuss all the inshore trip options that we offer for the time of year you are wanting to fish. On the inshore trips we catch Redfish, Trout, Snook, Shark, Grouper, Snapper, Sheepshead, Drum, Flounder, Mackerel, Ladyfish, Cobia, etc...

These trips are designed for the entire family. You can go fishing on one of our boats with a licensed United States Coast Guard Captain operating it for less than most places charge for you to just rent their boat.

This trip is great when you do not want to take everyone in your group out into the Gulf of Mexico, but you do want to take them fishing.

On all of our trips we provide everything. All of your bait, rods, reels, tackle, ice, instruction and fish cleaning is included in the price. Yes, the Captain and the Mate will clean your fish for you at no extra charge. We do not have extra charges, period. You may tip the mate if you want to as he / she does work for tips only. Tipping is not mandatory on our boats as it is with some others. Customary tip is 15-20% for the mate on a party fishing boat if you believe they have done a great job for you.

We operate on a "first to buy the spot gets it" policy. Because we only take 18 passengers on the boat we cannot hold a spot for you on the boat unless you buy it. This is the fairest way for everyone, you buy the spots you want and they are yours. This way you know you have the spots for you or your group and we know the spots are taken so we will not let someone else buy them. You can use your credit card over the phone to buy your spots. Please call us at 941-809-5393 to buy your spots on the boat.

On the day of your trip you should remember the following. Bring sunscreen that you know works for you. We very highly suggest that you take some kind of medically approved motion sickness prevention "medication". If you are not sure about this ask your doctor for advice. Never take any medication without asking your doctor if it is ok for you to take it based on your specific medical condition, etc... It is also a great idea to bring a hat and twice as much food and drinks as you think you will need. There is something about being out on the water that makes most people hungry and thirsty. We do have coolers on the boat to put your food and drinks in if you want to use them. We have plenty of ice for your food and drinks so you do not need to buy any before you get here. Ice is included in the price of your ticket. We do have "dry" storage on the boat so if you want to bring your cell phone, camera, etc... that is fine.

Canceling the trip. We will cancel the trip if we feel like it is not safe for us to be out in the boat due to inclement weather, etc.... Most of the time we will wait until the morning of the trip to cancel. We wait until the morning of the trip because sometimes the forecast the night before turns out to be wrong. If we cancel the trip the night before when in fact we could have gone if we would have waited to see for sure what the weather was going to do, you most likely will not be happy with us. If we do have to cancel the trip we will try our best to reschedule the trip for you. If we cancel your trip for any reason, we will issue you a full refund. If you cannot make it to the boat to use your tickets for the spots you bought we will not issue you a refund. Once you buy the spots on the boat they are yours. If you inform us as soon as you know that you cannot make it on the trip, we will try our very best to sell your spots to another party for you. We cannot guarantee that we can sell them and in the event that we do not, we will not issue you a refund.
