Deep Sea Fishing Off-Shore fishing is a great way to experience, first hand, the wonderful sea creatures of the Gulf of Mexico. There are many things that can be seen and done out there as well as catching your family dinner. Dolphins, Sea turtles and Manna-ray just to name a few.
When you take a fishing charter your price includes rods, reels, tackle, bait, gas, ice, licenses and your fabulous Captain. It is a stress free environment. We go out 15-20 miles all depending on weather conditions. There are a few artificial reefs and scattered wrecks, which are great to visit for catching live bait.
There are many fishing techniques that can be used
Bottom fishing- This is one of the most popular and effective techniques. You do not cast, instead dropping the baited hook to the floor bed and waiting a brief moment seems to do the trick.
Drift fishing- This technique is also popular. The lines just drift in the water.
Trolling- This technique is not favored by most Captains, as it is not considered true fishing. The lures drag behind the boat while moving. Can be done on request.
