Catch and Cook Adventure

Catch & Feast: Half-Day Group Fishing Adventure

Ready for a killer combo of fishing and feasting? Our Half Day Large Group Catch Fishing Trip is the real deal. We're talking up to 12 people split between two boats, hitting the water for some serious angling action before kicking back on a secluded island. The best part? Your fresh catch becomes lunch, served up two ways – sizzling BBQ and melt-in-your-mouth sashimi. It's the perfect mix of on-the-water excitement and island time relaxation.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll start the day bright and early, meeting at the dock where you'll split into two groups of six. Each boat has its own seasoned captain who knows these waters like the back of their hand. As we head out, keep your eyes peeled for dolphins playing in our wake or pelicans diving for their breakfast. Once we hit our secret spots, it's time to drop lines and see what's biting. Whether you're a total newbie or an old salt, our crew will make sure you're set up for success. We're after the good stuff – Cero Mackerel, Yellow Jack, Mutton Snapper, Black Grouper, and if we're lucky, some hard-fighting Blackfin Tuna.

Island Time & Fresh Catch Feast

After a solid morning of fishing, we'll cruise over to our private island spot. This is where the magic happens. While you're lounging on the beach, swimming in crystal-clear waters, or exploring the island, our crew will be turning your catch into an absolute feast. We're talking two styles here – classic island BBQ with all the fixings, and for the adventurous eaters, fresh sashimi that'll make you feel like you're in a five-star restaurant. It's the ultimate sea-to-table experience, and trust me, fish doesn't get any fresher than this.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

What sets this trip apart is the perfect balance. You're not just out there grinding all day (though if that's your thing, we've got trips for that too). This is about experiencing the best of what our local waters have to offer – from the thrill of the catch to the chill of island life. It's great for families, groups of friends, or even corporate teams looking to bond over something way cooler than trust falls. Plus, with two boats, there's always a bit of friendly competition to see who can land the biggest fish or the most diverse catch.

Customer Stories

"We booked two boats with Alek and Ozzy. They were phenomenal. Highly recommend these guys" - Brian

Species You'll Want to Hook

Cero Mackerel: These sleek, torpedo-shaped fish are the speedsters of our local waters. Known for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps, Cero Mackerel put up a fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. They're most active in the warmer months and love to hang around reefs and drop-offs. When it comes to eating, Cero makes for some of the best sashimi you'll ever taste – firm, slightly sweet, and incredibly fresh.

Yellow Jack: Don't let their sunny name fool you – Yellow Jacks are tough customers. These powerful fish are known for their strong, determined fights that'll test your arms and your drag. They school up around reefs and wrecks, and when you hook one, be ready for a battle. Yellow Jacks are great for both grilling and sashimi, with a rich, buttery flavor that's hard to beat.

Mutton Snapper: If you're after a true trophy fish, Mutton Snapper is your target. These beautiful, red-tinged fish are prized for both their fight and their flavor. They're smart and can be tricky to hook, but once you do, hold on tight. Muttons love to make powerful runs for structure, so quick reflexes are key. On the grill, Mutton Snapper is a local delicacy – flaky, sweet, and perfect with just a squeeze of lemon.

Black Grouper: The heavyweight champs of our reefs, Black Grouper are the kind of fish that make your arms ache and your stories grow. These bruisers like to hang deep, often in holes or around ledges, and they fight dirty – trying to wrap you around anything they can find. But the reward is worth it. Black Grouper meat is firm, white, and incredibly versatile. Whether it's grilled, blackened, or made into sashimi, it's always a crowd-pleaser.

Blackfin Tuna: Last but definitely not least, we've got the Blackfin Tuna. These guys are the rabbits of the sea – small, fast, and incredibly fun to catch. They travel in schools, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop. Blackfin put on an aerial show when hooked, leaping and tail-walking across the water. And when it comes to eating, there's nothing quite like ultra-fresh Blackfin sashimi. It's melt-in-your-mouth good, with a rich, buttery flavor that'll have you hooked for life.

Time to Book Your Spot

Look, I could go on all day about how awesome this trip is, but here's the bottom line: if you want a day that combines the best of fishing, relaxation, and incredible eats, this is it. It's perfect for groups, whether you're old friends or new coworkers. You'll make memories, catch fish, and eat like kings and queens. Plus, with our experienced guides and top-notch boats, you're in for a safe, fun, and fish-filled day. Spots fill up fast, especially in peak season, so don't wait. Give us a call or book online, and let's get you out on the water. Trust me, your taste buds (and your Instagram) will thank you.

Learn more about the species

Black Grouper

Black groupers are hefty, powerful fish that'll test your strength. Most average over 2 feet long, but they can reach a whopping 5 feet and 125 pounds. You'll find them lurking around offshore wrecks, ledges, and reefs, typically in 30-300 feet of water. They're ambush predators, so they hang close to structure. Black groupers are a favorite target for both their fight and their tasty, firm meat. They're not picky eaters, so live or dead bait works well. The key is getting your bait right to the bottom where they're hiding. Use heavy-duty gear - at least a 20-pound drag reel with 80-pound braid. Once you hook one, get ready for a battle. These guys will try to dive back into the rocks, so you need to crank hard and fast. Watch out for sharks trying to steal your catch too!

Black Grouper

Blackfin Tuna

Blackfin tuna are small but mighty, usually topping out around 30 pounds. They're the speedsters of the tuna world, known for their quick bursts and acrobatic jumps. You'll find them in warm offshore waters, often near the continental shelf. They school up, so when you find one, you've usually found a bunch. Blackfins are most active here in the fall, winter, and spring. Anglers love them for their hard fights and excellent eating quality - they're perfect for sashimi or grilling. To catch them, try vertical jigging or chunking. Use light leaders and small hooks, as they've got sharp eyes. A local trick is to chum with live pilchards to bring them to the surface. When they start busting on top, it's a sight you won't forget. Just be ready for a fast-paced fight when you hook up!

Blackfin Tuna

Cero Mackerel

Cero mackerel are speedy little fighters that'll give you a run for your money. They're usually 5-10 pounds, but can get up to 17 pounds if you're lucky. You'll find them near coral reefs and shipwrecks in clear coastal waters, typically at depths of 3-66 feet. These guys are loners or travel in small groups, and they're most active year-round in our warm waters. Anglers love targeting ceros for their quick bursts and tasty meat - great for sashimi or grilling. To catch one, try chumming with ballyhoo or pilchards over patch reefs. Once they're fired up, they'll hit almost any bait or lure. My tip? Go with topwater lures for some exciting surface action. Just watch out for those razor-sharp teeth when you're bringing them in!

Mutton Snapper

Mutton snappers are prized catches, growing up to 37 inches and weighing in at over 30 pounds. You'll spot them by their olive coloring and blue lines near their eyes. These guys hang out near reefs, mangroves, and inlets with good tidal flow. They're most active in depths of 130-230 feet, but you can find them shallower too. Muttons are solitary and cautious, so finesse is key. Use fresh bait and a light sinker to keep it natural. A good trick is to let your bait drift in the chum slick - they can't resist it. When you hook one, be ready for a fight. They'll try to run back to structure, so keep steady pressure. The real thrill is seeing that pink color grow as you bring them up. Muttons are excellent eating fish too, so they're worth the effort.

Mutton Snapper

Yellow Jack

Yellow jacks are often overlooked, but they're a blast to catch. These golden-colored fish can grow up to 39 inches and weigh over 30 pounds. You'll find them around offshore reefs, seagrass beds, and even hiding among jellyfish. They're opportunistic predators, so they'll follow larger fish and swoop in on the stragglers. Yellow jacks are fast swimmers and put up a good fight. The best time to target them is when they're schooling up to feed. Use lightweight gear - a 10-15 pound line works well. For bait, pilchards are your best bet. Try trolling with them to entice a strike. When you see that flash of yellow, get ready for some action! Just remember to remove the bloodline when cleaning them, or they can taste pretty fishy.
