A sampling of Offshore Options
Fish closures, reduced bag limits, and high fuel costs remind us that Offshore Fishing isn't what it used to be. Run offshore, fish all day, bring home a cooler full of grouper...GONE!
Is an offshore trip still worthwhile?
"Absolutely", according to Capt. Brian Smith! You just have to change your game plan a little to take advantage of your OTHER offshore offerings. How does Brian know this? He has been fishing these Florida waters for the last 20 years, and has been putting clients on fishy-action for much of that time (owner of Big Bend Charters). It's not just about grouper anymore, and Capt. Smith will explain how to structure your next offshore trip to make it a true Fishing Adventure.
