If your looking to go fishing on the open ocean and catch a big one :) then here are a couple places.
I always recommend the Party/Head boat because of the low cost compared to a private charter, but if the cost isn't an issue for you or you want the private charter boat experience and the private attention then I have a recommendation for that too.
*If you choose the Critter fleet then I recommend you arrive early to pick out your spot on the boat (2 hours early) The captain will tie off your spot on a first come first serve basis.
