Bottom Fishing & Nearshore Trolling — Bring Dinner Back to the Dock
This is the most popular trip on the Un Reel, and the reason is pretty simple: it hits the right balance. You get far enough offshore to bottom fish real structure and troll nearshore for king mackerel, and you're back at the dock with the afternoon still ahead of you.
Perfect for mom, dad, and the kids. Perfect for a group of guys who want to bring dinner home without spending all day on the water. Either way, you're on the Gulf with a captain who's been finding these fish his whole life.
