A nimble 24' center console that gets you to the fish

Estuary targets and nearshore reef runs
Expect a mix of inshore species—Speckled Trout, Redfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum and Flounder—plus runs to nearshore reefs where King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel and Cobia are pursued.
Everything provided and your catch readied for the table
The captain supplies bait, tackle, rods and reels, life jackets and saltwater fishing licenses; children (5 and older) are welcome, and the crew will clean and bag your fish at no extra charge.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
Mornings here are a rhythm of idling through the inlet, dropping lines over flats and structure, then opening the throttle for a reef run when the bite calls for it. Whether you’re teaching a child to tie a knot or watching a rod arc from a nearshore takedown, the trip is built around easy access to productive water, all gear on board and a captain who handles the technical work so you can fish.
