Our Boat - The Bad Habit
We have filled all of the red snapper trips for the rest of the season, unfortunately. However, red grouper opens January one and we have plenty of opportunity for you to fill your freezers. We have full Boat and Split Trip opportunities available starting January 1, 2025. Start the new year right by loading the boat and your freezer. Call Captain Mike at 941-306-9726 to book your trip today. 
As 2024 comes to a close we have limited opportunities to target American Red Snapper before the season closes at the end of the year. It will before the last chance to target these beauties until the summer. ![]()
