Background
Captain since 1986, I have been running SCUBA and fishing charters continuously since that time. I have been a Scuba diving instructor since 1985, I don't teach anymore, but still dive when I am not fishing! I absolutely love the marine life of the seas, I'm still fascinated by the diversity of it as well. My degree is in Biology so I naturally am drawn to the salt water and all its critters which reside and swim there.
Techniques
At Double Time Charters we prefer using light tackle, often with live bait, for the most fun and fight while fishing. Trolling and bottom fishing are the most popular methods we use, but sight fishing when available is also utilized, either in Cobia season, or anytime the opportunity presents itself during the summer, such as when we find large Sargassum (seaweed) rafts floating, as there are always lots of fish activity around and below the rafts..

Ben and Debbie returned to fish on the mighty Double Time and we captured 3 different species of delicious snappers forthe table! Seas were fair and the bite was actually a little slow due to the snappers still being in roe, but I hit some special spots and we capitalized on some great dinner fare. Somehow we managed to stay away from the sharks ans dolphins as well. All in all the Red Snapper season is off to a good start here in the northern Gulf and the bait boat is packing good minnows every day so the customers can exercise the option to buy bait instead of spending the time to catch it, makes for more fishing time! This was a 5 hour charter which seems to fly by in an instant, but a very popular trip.

Longtime customer Steve Orlando and buddy Brian came out on the mighty Double Time for a 5 hour charter to hopefully catch some lunch and dinner and were not disappointed! We started out trolling for Spanish Mackerel and caught 4 in about 10 minutes and then we headed out into the Gulf for some bottom fishing. Very slow start as it was dead bottom of the tide and we were only catching Ruby Lips but then the bite picked up and we started getting the Mingos (Vermilion Snapper) to bite. We ended up with 21 Vermiions, 4 Spanish and a Chocolate Porgy, more than enough for their lunch and dinner AND a huge plate of fish for me, all of which Brotula's Restaurant cooked up for them! We also caught and released a few Red Snappers just for good measure!
