We can customize your fishing experience from a 4-hour to a 72-hour trip, so you have a wide range of options from which to choose.
Our crew is prepared to fill your expectations as well as your ice chests with some of the best bottom fish in the Gulf such as Red Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, Triggerfish, Mingo, and Cobia.
If you are more of the adventurous type and wish to fish 24, 36, 48, or 72 hours on a blue-water expedition, we can target Swordfish, Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, and Tuna.
After a wonderful day of catching fish, our crew will be delighted to fillet your catch and refer you to one of our local restaurants who will prepare your fish to suit your tastes.
Bait, tackle, fishing licenses, and fuel are all provided by our crew. You should bring food, drinks, sunglasses, hats, sunscreen, and other personal items you may need.
Captain A.J. and his crew welcome you aboard with open arms on the Strike Zone Too for a fishing trip of a lifetime!
