For more serious fisherman charter boats with seasoned skippers and friendly crews are available. Half day trips fish between 3 and 6 miles out. Full day trips venture into deeper water and sometimes offer a better chance at larger fish such as this nice Pinta (above middle photo). On a full day trip you might jig spoons or bottom fish in 100 plus feet of water. Spring sport fishing may yield Grouper, Snapper and Bass. Dolphin Fish and Skipjack show up in the summer months starting in June. Other fish including Triggerfish and Sharks are caught throughout the year.
