Reef & Wreck Fishing
Deep water wreck fishing is the most common type of fishing charters that we run. About 8 out of 10 days I will be anchored to a ship wreck or drifting over it with live bait. The reason I fish these spots so often is due to the non-stop action and big, big fish. Most of the deep wrecks are within 6 to 10 miles from the dock. The shallowest wreck I fish is in 87 ft and the deepest is in 250 ft of water. If the wind and current allow me to, I like to drop an anchor on the wreck and fish off the side. This allows me to turn off the engine so I can help with all the fish you catch. When anchored in deep water, we can fish both the bottom and the surface at the same time. Some of the fish you might see on the surface are sailfish, dolphin (mahi-mahi), black fin tuna, wahoo, king fish, barracuda and bonito. On the bottom you can find mutton snapper, cubera snapper, yellow eye snapper, true red snapper, mangrove snapper, yellow tail snapper, black grouper, gag grouper, red grouper, scamp grouper, yellow fin grouper, Goliath grouper (Jewfish), amber jacks, sharks, cobia, African pompano, big porgies, permit and many more. With so many different fish and a live well full of bait you never know what you're going to catch. Most mornings I already have live bait and if I don't, I'll spend my time catching some. I like live pinfish on the bottom and live ballyhoo on the surface and even live blue crabs for permit in the summer. The permit spawn off shore from April - September and deep wrecks is one of their favorite spots to group up in big numbers. We can fish up to 4 lines on the surface and up to 6 on the bottom. This type of fishing guarantees fish nearly 100% of the time. Let's go fishing!
