Bottom Fishing Trip
A full bottom-fishing species haul!
“We went out on a 10 hour trip on the Miss Kelley and we couldn't have been more pleased. Captain August and deckhand Griffin explained species targeting options, and they executed the plan perfectly. We never dipped lines at a dry hole. We were provided the perfect bait and they took us to the fish. Also, they considered the strength and endurance of the six older guys in our group. We caught big red snappers and amberjacks, triggers, white snappers and bee-liners, and even hooked a 7 foot shark. Effective use of time. Boat had the latest technology, tackle and creature comforts. We will definitely be back!” John Fountain
