Captain JL will prepare you with instructions for your own private offshore sportfishing
adventure in the Gulf of Mexico. A day in the deep blue Gulf waters, fishing for
Dorado/Dolphin, Marlin, Sailfish, King Mackerel, Wahoo, Snapper, Grouper, Barracuda,
Cobia, Tuna, Shark, etc.,
is an experience you'll never forget. We will be fishing the
reefs, oil rigs, wrecks, Gulf Stream and even trail the commercial shrimp boats during
season. Behind these boats many VERY LARGE species of sport fish stay all season
long - it's an easy free meal.

all of the offshore equipment you'll need to create the memory of a lifetime! |
