We went out on the Early Bird and had a great 1/2 day. Captain Ross and mate Steven got us several snapper, a mackerel and a barracuda. The captain's only rule is to have a good time and you will.

We came for breakfast. Had a breakfast burrito and a breakfast croissant. Very tasty. With our coffee. They brought warm milk! And then we got to watch them feed the pelicans and the other birds. Chaos. Delightful chaos. This is worth a stop at Bud and Mary's fishing. Marina to catch this site in the morning and have a great breakfast

Great stop for food, bait, fishing gear and charters My husband and I visited Bud and Mary's to grab some bait for our 5th anniversary fishing day trip the beginning of the month. Super friendly and happy people, we're very helpful to point out a nice spot to go fishing, and supplied us with great shrimp bait. Food smelled great but it was early so we plan to come back and try it. The property was super clean, including the dock. There were a lot of charters out that morning and a few visitors milling around. They have a small school of tarpon and nurse sharks and some pelicans hanging around wait for scraps, and you can purchase food to feed them. Really want to jump on a charter next time we come down! They also have a dive shop that had a huge selection of gear, but was closed for lunch while we were there. Great place, we will be back.
