“WE CATCH ANYTHING DUMB ENOUGH TO BITE”

We specialize in offshore and reef fishing for sailfish, mahi, kingfish, tuna, wahoo and any other species that takes the bait!  We’ve tagged the most sailfish of any boat in the Atlantic, and we’re a top dolphin tagger for the Dolphin Tagging Research Project.
