Captain Taylor Horrell will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, jigging, and spinning – all to get you on that bite. This involves 5 to 10 hour trips, fishing for Spanish Mackerel, Seabass, Grouper, King Mackerel, Bonito, and Amberjack, depending on your chosen trip and the season.

Captain Phillip Loughlin welcomes you aboard his 23’ Parker boat. This cuddy cabin is powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine that can reach a maximum speed of 35 knots. This means you will reach your fishing spots very fast and save traveling time. If you choose to fish from the boat, the crew can accommodate up to 4 guests. However, if you want to go kayak fishing, there’s enough room for 3 anglers.

Hop aboard their 26’ Seafox center console, capable of holding 4 anglers comfortably at the same time. She’s powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine, giving her enough juice to develop a cruising speed of 24 knots. Outriggers, downriggers, and a live bait well are available on board, to ensure your trolling can go without a hitch, so you can just focus on catching the fish.
