THE BOAT

THE CATCH

Bottom Fishing for Pan‑Sized Species

Expect classic bay and near‑shore targets: Spot, Perch, Croaker and Whiting — the trip’s bottom‑fishing approach produces lots of action and strong odds of a mixed bag.

THE EXPERIENCE

Budget‑Friendly, Open to All

This pay‑per‑person outing is the operator’s most economical option, welcoming first‑timers and seasoned anglers alike and encouraging anglers to board early to secure a spot.
