You can cancel without any charges if you do so at least 14 days before your scheduled trip, and the amount will be credited back to your account. If you cancel less than 14 days before the trip, your deposit will be retained by the guide. Cancellations made on the day of the trip or if you fail to show up will result in the full trip cost being billed to your card.
We provide all rods, reels, and tackle for the trip. However, we suggest you bring along sunglasses, sunscreen, suitable clothing for the weather, and any personal gear you prefer to use.
If you’re seeking an engaging and dynamic fishing adventure, Captain Mike’s bottom fishing excursions are an excellent choice! These trips vary from 6 to 12 hours, with longer journeys venturing farther offshore to increase your chances of landing larger and more impressive fish. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a family eager for an exciting day out on the water, bottom fishing offers a fantastic opportunity to catch a range of strong, flavorful fish.
Bottom fishing differs from trolling by focusing on dropping your line straight down and detecting bites directly. Depending on the trip duration, we’ll head 10 to 50 miles offshore and keep the boat steady over artificial reefs and natural seabed formations. These hotspots are rich with fish, providing everyone aboard with the chance to hook something remarkable. The deeper and longer the trip, the more abundant the catch tends to be!
Fishing with Captain Mike promises an exciting, hands-on experience packed with action and plenty of fresh seafood to take home. From the thrill of wrestling a robust Amberjack to reeling in tasty Red Snapper, this trip ensures unforgettable memories for everyone involved.
