Good day for our annual crew of misfits. Thanks to Mr. Suarez and his group for being some of our favorite and longest-running customers!

A little bumpy out there but they brought back a good mess of fish! All in all we came back with:

12 Red Snappers,
1 Mingo Snapper,
1 White Snapper,
And 1 Snowy Grouper

And returned to the deep were:
8 Red Snappers,
5 Triggerfish,
And 1 Lizardfish.

Great job yall and we will see you again next year!

Today’s trip was markedly better in most ways. Flipper must have been full from yesterday because he didn’t make a single appearance, thank GOODNESS. The seas were also much calmer than yesterday and actually much calmer than forecasted for today! That full moon bite was slow, but we still picked up a great slew of fish.

We came home with:
8 Red Snappers,
(Big probs to Bart and Brad for landing a 20 pounder and 15 pounder, respectively!)
67 Mingo Snappers,
1 Lane Snapper, and
1 Almaco Jack.

Returned to the sea was:
3 Red Snappers,
1 Red Grouper,
7 Mingo Snappers
Probably 20-25 Triggerfish,
and a massive Toro (GoggleEye Snapper).

Thanks for fishing with us folks, you truly did a great job and we appreciate you more than you know!

Our trip yesterday was rougher than forecasted, crosswind 💨 and side swells 🌊 all day, and dolphins 🐬 dominated the playing field (not the Miami ones, the oceanic coyotes ). But our folks hung in there like troopers. Even the ones that got sick (6ish out of 12) were 100% troopers.

When all was said and done, we still had smiles and handshakes all around and even some great fish to brag about. Hats off to the fella who caught the 15lb red snapper, she was a beaut!

All in all we came home with:
10 Red Snappers,
4 Mingo Snappers, and
1 White Snapper.

Returned to the sea were about:
12 Red Snappers,
25 Triggerfish,
And stolen by flipper was about 30 various fish, most of which were likely red snappers based on what they ate and how they pulled.

Regardless, we had a great time and would do it again!

Another fishing trip in the books with Cornerstone Christian Schools. We had some folks get…..shall we say “green around the gills,” but we still came back with some fish and some memories.

All in all we came back with:
17 Mingo Snapper,
1 Triggerfish,
1 Red Grouper,
2 White Snapper, and
1 Bonita (not pictured).

Fish we caught, but couldn’t bring home, include a couple dozen Triggerfish and a stud Amberjack.

Thanks again Cornerstone and Charles Gann for another good year.

Ps….. non-drowsy Dramamine IS your friend.

It was our honor to once again go fishing with Premier Boiler & Combustion out in the Gulf of America!

With 38 Mingo snapper (about 15 of which were HOGS), a white snapper, a scamp grouper, a red grouper, 2 triggerfish, and a WAHOO… these guys don’t play.

Even with the dolphin stalking us and thieving our catch…they brought back a hefty mess of fish and we even had sashimi on the dock. (Well….most of us).

Well done guys, and we will see you again soon!

The year is full swing, people are fishing, and we’re catching em like crazy! Lots of good groups so far and we expect a fantastic fishing year!!

Another year, another fantastic fishing excursion with Cornerstone Christian Schools Seniors! 5 hours offshore, and these young people knew the assignment.

In all, they came back with 78 Mingo Snappers and 5 nice Triggerfish! And another 50 or so fish got sent home for being undersized or out of season. They did incredible!!

(And don’t worry Mr. Charles, we won’t tell anyone that you caught almost all the fish 🎣). Haha

From the Gulf to the table, any fresher…. it would still be swimming. Thanks again for fishing with us and we will see you again next year!

Cary Spradlin- Found your friend taking a selfie on my camera about 20 minutes before yall caught him.

Sandbar Shark Says Hello A sandbar shark swims by to investigate the camera. (We actually caught and released him about 20 minutes later). Several Red Snappers come check the bait.
