Reef & WreckS Light tackle fishing on the reef. We always use live bait for the big predator fish lurking below. As with the reef we jig and use live bait on the deeper wrecks.
Shallow Water BackCountry We fish the back country from The Seven Mile Bridge to Key West. We use artificial & live bait. Whether you are an experienced or inexperienced angler looking to catch tarpon or on vacation looking to catch a variety of fish, we will do our best to accommodate your requests. Lots to see in The Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge. Offshore We are usually setting lines just a short ride from the marina. We use Penn International reels with custom rods. Spinning reels are always loaded with live bait for sight casting. Small boat with hands on fishing offshore, can be very exciting. This is NOT a trip where a rod is handed to you by the mate to reel in your fish. DEEP DROPPING Bottom fishing with "Kristal"reels from 500 to 1200 feet targeting mainly snowy grouper, tilefish and barrelfish. |
