44 Hr Deep Sea Fishing Adventure
Overview
The Ultimate Offshore Fishing Experience.
🎣 The Florida Middle Grounds & Elbow Experience
Welcome to the Famous Florida Middle Grounds and The Elbow — the Gulf’s most legendary deep-sea fishing destinations.
These 44-hour offshore deep-sea fishing adventures are built for serious anglers who live for non-stop action, trophy fish, and stories that become legends.
Stretching across the Gulf of America, these fertile waters are home to massive Red Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, and a variety of prized deep-water species. From dusk to dawn, it’s high-intensity fishing in some of the most productive grounds in the world — and it’s no wonder these trips are a crew favorite every season.
Unlike standard overnight trips, our 44-Hour Expeditions are designed for maximum fishing time, comfort, and results. With a limited load of only 20 anglers, you’ll have plenty of rail space and personalized attention from a crew that lives and breathes offshore fishing.
Every trip is strategically planned around moon phases, currents, and bite patterns to keep the rods bending day and night.
Add in hearty meals, comfortable bunks, and the best fishing team on the Gulf, and you’ve got the ultimate offshore adventure — the kind every serious angler needs to experience at least once.
🕒 Trip Overview
The Florida Middle Grounds & Elbow 44-Hour Trip departs at 6:00 PM (or earlier when everyone’s checked in). After a 6–7 hour offshore run, the captain puts you on the bite — usually starting in 100–160 feet of water. The night begins with hot action on Mangrove Snapper, Porgies, and other nighttime feeders.
🎣 Total Fishing Time: Approximately 30 hours of premium offshore action.
