I have fished several times off shore and caught fish this size everywhere. The grandson and daughter had a awesome experience and really enjoyed themselves. We went out 8-9 miles and caught as soon as we stopped and came back in and caught more but for the money spent personally I wanted to go out further and catch bigger with calm seas but Captain said it was due to my 6 year old granddaughter.
If your a first time fisherman I would highly recommend this trip for Captain and crew were 1st class but to me I was disappointed due to the size of the fish I want to go for. This trip was for the grandkids though and 1st time out for them they had a blast.
