On your trip, you and Capt. Craig will be targeting Amberjack, Cobia, Scamp Grouper, King Mackerel, Redfish, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, and more, depending on the season. Using ight and heavy tackle, you can try bottom, deep sea, drift, and kite fishing, as well as trolling, spinning, and jigging to maximize your chance of landing that trophy catch.

All Brighter Days trips come with bait, tackle, rods, reels, and safety equipment for all on board, along with licenses – not forgetting that all-important local expertise! You only need to pack your snacks, drinks, and sunscreen, and settle in for a thrilling day.

Captain Craig was great he was very knowledgeable of where to catch certain fish and made sure we definitely caught something. we csme out with catching a decent amount of Trigger Fish none that we could keep unfortunately due to being undersized. We did however hit yhe honey pot with catching 12 Vermillion Snapper that were all keepers. The Amber Head would have been nice but we lost him he put up a reslly good fight. I Recommend booking with Capatain Craig

Exceptional morning, fantastic time.
5 hour offshore reef pm on April 26, 20252 adults
This was a trip my best friend and I have wanted to do for a long time, and Captain Craig and Mate Jacob made it absolutely phenomenal. Not only were they both extremely knowledgeable and skillful, they were super helpful in showing us the ropes and helping us catch some truly remarkable, maybe once-in-a-lifetime fish. Their know-how and talent for this was remarkable — something you only see in people with decades of experience doing something they love. We’ll definitely be back, and we wouldn’t think of going out with anyone else. If you want to give this a shot for the first time or if you’re an experienced angler looking to refine your skills, I think you’re going to be hard pressed to find a better charter. Oh yeah, and that massive Mangrove Snapper was delicious!

We had a fun morning and we all caught fish. Craig and Noah were great, and kept the kids excited after they missed a couple fish. Both caught one the next time the put out a line. good trip for families or avid fishermen. bring warm clothes for morning fishing.

Captain Craig put us on the fish right away and the four of us limited on Vermillion Snapper in a couple hours. Hooked into a few big Red Snapper but no luck getting them in the boat. All around great day with my sons on the water.
