Me, my 7yr old son and my father-in-law had a great trip out with Capt. Travis. We arrived at the docks 20mins early and he was already there waiting on us. Very professional, personable and on top of it from beginning to end. The boat is immaculate and the very first thing he did when we got on the boat was a quick safety show and tell. Everything was well organized and easily accessible. The seas were a little choppy on the way out, but didn’t stop us from covering ground quickly. High Speed Cruising on the way out at about 40mph we got to the deep water in about an hour ;-) Unfortunately, with the last cold front that came through, not much was out there and biting on the troll, except for a bunch of Bonita’s. After a couple of hours trolling, we switched gears to bottom fishing, which was on fire. Between red snappers, mutton snapper, vermilion snappers, porgy’s, sharks and a remora it was non stop action! Capt. Travis is decked out with all Penn tackle which was tuned up, rigged up and extra combos waiting on backup to be mixed in when needed after break offs, cut offs and what not. Because of this we constantly had lines in the water and had tight lines. He doesn’t have a mate and honestly doesn’t even need one. I can’t stress enough how thorough, organized, prepared, etc… he is. When you go out there with Capt. Travis, you’re going to get the most possible fishing time with the speed of his boat, his preparedness for the trip and his determination to put you on the fish. Rightfully named “On A Mission” you surely will be and hopefully it’ll be an epic trip for you as well ;-) Oh, by the way, he does very nice and quick knife work with your catch when you get back to the docks ;-) We loaded up our coolers with some beautiful, fresh and tasty meat ;-)
We’ll be going out with him again hopefully sooner than later for a 12 hour trip ;-)
PS - it’s nice at the end of a long day of catching fish, for the seas to lay out and let you run home covering ground at 50+mph ;-)
Tight Lines,
George
