Trip Overview

Hey there, fellow anglers! Ready to step up your game and target some serious slabs? Our 10-hour bottom and wreck fishing trip is where it's at. We're talking about heading out to the midshore grounds where the big boys play. This ain't your average day on the water – we're going after trophy-sized seabass and doormat flounder that'll make your buddies green with envy. With all the gear provided, you just need to bring your A-game and a cooler for your catch. Trust me, you're gonna need it. This trip is perfect for those of you who've done the inshore thing and are itching for a real challenge. So buckle up, because it's gonna be a day of non-stop action that'll have you coming back for more.

What to Expect on the Water

Alright, let's break it down for you. We'll be pushing out past the breakers to where the water gets deep and the fish get bigger. We're talking 60 to 100 feet of water, where the bottom structure is prime real estate for monster fish. We'll be dropping lines over shipwrecks, reefs, and rock piles that hold the kind of fish that'll make your drag sing. The name of the game here is bottom fishing, and we've got it dialed in. We'll be using heavy tackle – think 6 to 8-ounce sinkers and beefy rods that can handle the pressure. You'll be working your bait right in the strike zone, feeling for that telltale thump that means dinner's on the line. And let me tell you, when a big fluke or seabass hits, you'll know it. It's not uncommon to pull up double-headers or even have the whole boat hooked up at once. That's the kind of action that keeps anglers coming back year after year.

Techniques and Gear

Listen up, because this is where the magic happens. We'll be using a mix of techniques to put you on the fish. For seabass, we're talking about precision drops with squid or cut bait. You want to keep that bait right in the strike zone, which means constant attention to your line. Feel a tick? Set the hook, because that's a seabass trying to steal your lunch. For those doormat flounders, we'll be drifting with bucktails tipped with Gulp or live bait. It's all about the slow drag along the bottom – too fast and you'll miss 'em, too slow and they'll spit it out. We provide all the top-notch gear, from the rods and reels to the terminal tackle. We're talking about stout conventional setups that can handle the abuse these fish dish out. And don't worry if you're new to this style of fishing – we'll show you the ropes and have you fishing like a pro in no time.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Black Sea Bass: These bruisers are the bread and butter of bottom fishing. They're structure-loving fish that hang around wrecks and reefs, waiting to ambush anything that looks tasty. Sea bass are known for their aggressive strikes and bulldog-like fights. They can grow up to 5 pounds or more, with the big ones often called "knuckleheads" due to the bump on their heads. The best part? They're delicious. Firm, white meat that's perfect for the grill or a fish fry.

Summer Flounder (Fluke): Now, if you want to talk about a fish that'll test your skills, it's the summer flounder. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in with the sandy bottom. But don't let their flat profile fool you – they're aggressive predators with a mouth full of teeth. We're not talking about those little inshore fluke here. No sir, we're after the big boys, the ones that anglers call "doormats" because they're so big you could use 'em to wipe your feet. A quality fluke out here can easily top 5 pounds, with some real monsters pushing 10 pounds or more. They're crafty fighters, using their wide bodies to plane in the current, making every inch a battle. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the taste of fresh fluke. Sweet, delicate meat that's a favorite among seafood lovers.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

I'll tell you why this trip is a customer favorite – it's because it delivers. Period. You're not just casting into the blue and hoping for the best. We're putting you right on top of structure that holds fish, and we're doing it all day long. It's the kind of fishing that gets in your blood. The anticipation as your bait sinks, the sudden weight when a big one takes it, the burn in your arms as you crank up a trophy from the depths – it's addictive. And let's not forget the camaraderie. There's something about being out on the water for 10 hours that brings people together. Swapping stories, sharing tips, and celebrating each other's catches – it's what fishing's all about. Plus, you're coming home with a cooler full of premium fillets. That's bragging rights and dinner sorted for weeks.

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, if you're still reading this, you know you want to get out there. This isn't just another day of fishing – it's a chance to push your skills, to tangle with some serious fish, and to come home with stories (and dinner) that'll last a lifetime. We've got room for six anglers, which means plenty of elbow room and personal attention from the crew. But here's the thing – spots fill up fast, especially during peak season. The big fish are out there right now, growing bigger by the day. Don't be the guy who's looking at everyone else's fish pictures wishing you'd booked sooner. Grab your spot now, and get ready for a day of fishing that'll set the bar for every trip after. Trust me, once you've felt the pull of a true midshore monster, you'll be counting the days until you can get back out there. So what are you waiting for? Let's get you on the books and on the water. The fish are calling, and it's time to answer.
