Sea Watch 3/4 Day
- The Sea Watch is a definite run all week on their 3/4 day trips! Best to bring a live bait setup with 15- 25 lb test and #2-2/0 hooks for the mixed bait currently. Surface irons, colt snipers, and tube style plastics have also been producing quality fish. The Sea Watch departs daily at 7:00 AM and returns at 4:00 PM. Rod rentals and fishing licenses are available at check-in.
New Seaforth Half Day
- The New Seaforth AM and PM half-day trips have been experiencing a fun mix of bass, barracuda, and bonito with opportunities at quality yellowtail mixed in. Anglers should come prepared with a 15-25 lb live bait setup and hooks size #2-2/0 with the mixed bait lately. Surface irons and stick baits have been seeing good response, while tube baits and fluke-style plastics continue to be great options when targeting bass and bonito. Rod rentals and licenses are available at the landing when checking for your trip. The New Seaforth is a definite run everyday this week on all AM, PM, and Twilight trips. Come on down for a great time on the water.
