Frequently Asked Questions

Do you carry light tackle on board?

Though we provide water, sodas beverages and snacks as well as lunch on full day trips. You are allowed to bring any other beverage or food that you prefer. We will be happy to store it in our cooler or you can bring your own personal cooler.

Do we need to tip the Mate?

We do not charge for cleaning, filleting and bagging the fish, yet it is customary to tip the mate for his work and effort throughout the day.

Do you offer Reef Fishing?

We are deep sea fisherman, and that is our expertise. Only sometimes we will do some reef fishing, depending the time of year. You may Ask.

Is there a better time of day for fishing?

In Offshore Deep Sea Fishing it really does not matter if it is early in the morning or later in the afternoon, like it would for bottom fishing. It is a case of spending time out there looking for signs where fish may be feeding (weed lines, seabirds, bait fish, water color contrasts, currents, etc). When you find these signs, you start finding and catching fish. The more time in the ocean, the greater the chance.

Do you split Charters?

If we can we will. Just ask.

But recognizing that some people may get a little sick and want to go back to shore, we have an alternative that many other Fishing Charter services can't provide.
