    This a very family friendly charter and great for young kids! The focus on this trip is to have non stop action of smaller reef fish. It is very common to catch 30 - 70 fish and have plenty for dinner. While it is possible to catch a big fish, we do not target them. During this trip it is very common to catch the following grey snapper (grunts), porgies, lane snapper, remoras, puffers, blue runners, Spanish mackerel, small red grouper, scamp grouper, small gag grouper and other reef fish. During certain seasons, it is also possible to catch a Shark, Goliath Grouper or king mackerel.

          This a full day 10 - 12 hour (It is listed for 10 hours but depending on the bite and weather I have no problem with 12 hours at no additional charge) 40 to 50 miles offshore for red grouper and red snapper (seasonal). On these trips you never know what we may catch! We have caught king fish, sailfish, blackfin tuna, amber jacks, mangrove snapper, vermillion and lanes. While I do not have an age limit it is recommend that these anglers have been offshore before and a little experience bottom fishing. I love these trips!!
