Barracuda make for some exciting catch and release fishing as these acrobatic predators come flying out of the water. Watch in amazement as they crash the bait. This one rushed the boat, flew out of the water to a height well above our heads just a few feet from the boat! We thought he was going to land on deck. Instead he hit the water and peeled line like a run-away freight train! How exciting!
Here's Capt. Keith with a pair of Red Grouper. This duo was caught fishing just 14 miles off the coast of Naples, Florida. Capt. Keith would be happy to share his "Maryland Crab Imperial" recipe with you. Stuff your catch with this delectable Maryland tradition. Your friends will be in awe and your taste buds in heaven!
Goliaths are fun for catch and release. Hooking onto one of these giants is like hooking onto a Volkswagen...hang on!!! Let us show you how to make this a special fishing experience with your son, daughter, mother, father or best friend with the "tandem hookup". It's like no other fishing you have ever done.
Night fishing anyone?? No, we're not afraid of the dark. Snook, Snapper and of course Tarpon love the bite at night. Not to mention it's just plain cool. We love night charters!
