Live Bait fishing - This is our most popular package. This trip offers an abundance of rod bending action, plus the chance at catching multiple species of fish. These trips are geared for every level of ability. Ideal package for those who don't have a lot of fishing experience. This trip averages more than 50 fish per day, and often over 100 fish are caught in a day of fishing. Always plenty of fish for eating if you choose to take some home.

Trophy Trip - We target 25 pound and larger fish on this trip. This means slower fishing with much larger baits. A client can expect fewer bites and catches but fish in the 60 to 70 pound range are possible, with 40 to 50 pound fish common.
