A large back fishing deck allows you to spread out and insures you won’t spend your day rubbing elbows or tangled with the fisherman or woman next to you.

4 Hour Trip Afternoon
Our captain took us various places to try our hand at fishing. The gulf waters were too rough for the day, so the bay is where we stayed and might have been disappointed. On the contrary though, he agreed for our elderly aunt to join the trip and the memories we made that day will live on for a lifetime in our family. We had an awesome time. It’s not always about how much you catch but about what you catch! Thank you Conner we had a blessed day on the water that day. We will remember this trip and tell stories forever!

4 Hour Trip - Morning
Or trip started meeting the captain at Wet and Wild at 7 AM. I was only given the address which made it a little harder to find than if I had been given both address and name. Captain Justin showed up right on time, tho we were expecting Captain Taylor. Captain Justin was very personable and friendly right from the start. Expect a quick stop for fuel, frozen bait and a chance to pick up a last minute drinks and use the restroom. A quick trip to the mouth of the bay to catch some live bait (cigar minnows and bluefish) and we were off to our first spot. About a 30 minute ride in GoM and we arrived at our first location. Started catching nice Trigger fish right away. Unfortunately, Justin informed us the season had closed on them. We rode another 20 minutes to a deeper spot. We started bottom fishing and Justin told us to keep an eye out for Mahi Mahi. Within minutes Justin spotted a school of Mahi near the boat and jumped into action to get us on the Mahi and kept us on them the remainder of our trip. We ended up with 15 total. Justin was very knowledgeable and fun to fish with. He got as excited for us to catch one as we were. While we were out there he was informed he had an afternoon booking but I felt like if not he would have stayed out with us to get our limit. The only negaive I have about the trip: Some of the reels needed maintainence or replacement. They were hard to reel. The’re we’re 3 of us on the boat which I believe is advertised as being able to take 4-5. Given the size of the boat and ability to move around I would not suggest more than 3 adults. We will definitely book with Captain Justin again if given the opportunity.

6 Hour Trip (PM)
I took my father in law, brother in law and my two boys out for a 6 hour afternoon trip and had a great time! We caught our limit of Red snapper and the fish were biting almost as soon as we dropped our lines.
