Jupiter Half-Day Fishing Excursion

Summary: Really appreciated the time we had on the blue Heron. It was obvious the crew and the captain were very concerned about helping us try to catch fish. It wasn’t in the cards for us that day, but not at all due to their lack of trying. Ian was quick to change bait and help me get my rod back in the water. Thanks for a great day!

Summary: great time! attentive crew. no wait to be ready-baited friendly captain just as great. I went 2 days in a row and would go another

Summary: Had a great time on the Blue Heron drift fishing trip! The crew was fantastic — they kept everyone baited up, informed, and fishing throughout the trip. As a beginner, I really appreciated how helpful and attentive they were. I ended up catching 2 fish and had a great experience overall. A tip for future anglers: remember the marker number the crew gives you (for example, "2 on the head" or wherever they place it). When the fish are cleaned and handed out at the end of the trip, you'll want to know which fish are yours. You can bring your own snacks and drinks, which I highly recommend. There's an inside section of the boat if you want to stay dry or keep personal items protected. One angler caught a couple of nice fish but didn't have his phone with him, so I took a few photos for him and sent them afterward. Things I'd recommend bringing: * Water * Gatorade or Powerade * Motion sickness medication (take it before the trip) * Snacks * Cash for tips Be sure to bring some cash to tip the crew at the end of the trip. They work hard keeping lines baited, helping with fish, untangling lines, and cleaning your catch. I also recommend leaving a cooler in your vehicle. That way, after the trip you can ice down your cleaned fish and still have a place to keep your drinks and snacks cold before boarding. One thing I thought was fun: they had an optional biggest-fish pool. If you're a friendly gambler, you can throw a few dollars into the pot with other anglers. Whoever catches the biggest fish wins the cash prize. It's completely optional, but it adds a little excitement to the trip. Overall, a fun, family-friendly trip with a hardworking crew. Whether you're an experienced angler or trying offshore fishing for the first time, the Blue Heron crew does a great job making sure everyone has a good time. I'd definitely go again!
