12 Hour Bottom Fishing & Trolling



Book Now

The 12-hour offshore trip is designed for crews who want maximum time on the water. With a full day offshore, this trip gives us the flexibility to go farther, stay longer on productive spots, and adjust throughout the day as conditions change.

We typically depart around 7:00 a.m. and use the extended timeline to focus on fishing — not rushing. With fewer time constraints, we’re able to spend longer bottom fishing, reposition when needed, and take advantage of short-lived bites when they pop up.

This trip is about settling in and letting the day unfold.

What the Day Looks Like

  • Early morning departure into open Gulf waters

  • Unplug & unwind

  • Trolling on the way offshore and between spots

  • Extended bottom fishing at multiple locations

  • Flexibility to move and adapt throughout the day

  • Afternoon and early evening fishing before heading back in

With the extra time, there’s room to fish hard when it’s good and slow things down when it’s not.

Fishing Style & Target Species

What we target depends on the season and regulations, but commonly includes:

  • Red snapper (when open)

  • Vermilion snapper (a.k.a. mingos / beeliners)

  • Triggerfish (when open)

  • Amberjack (when open)

  • Grouper (when open)

  • Other reef species that are in season

The longer day also opens the door to exciting trolling opportunities. These bites can be hit or miss, but when they happen, they’re fast-paced and a lot of fun.

Comfort & Life Onboard

A 12-hour trip gives you time to enjoy the boat as much as the fishing:

  • Indoor, air-conditioned cabin

  • Private bathroom

  • Comfortable seating and open deck space

  • Onboard Green Egg, perfect for cooking breakfast, grilling lunch, or throwing something on as we head back in

Guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks, including adult beverages.
