Fishing at a affordable price on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico book your trip today on The Great Escape for all your fishing pleasures
Operating as usual
Fishing's been great here the last couple of weeks. June 17th till July 28th is our state water red snapper season. Still have a few spots left give us a call to book your trip of a lifetime.
This is what a mate looks like on the ride in after a long day. Mating is not easy. What the customer doesn’t see is that mates are at the boat the night before - cleaning the boat, rigging baits, repairing equipment, icing the boat-the list goes on. Their day starts at around 4am and they often don’t get back home until 7 or 8 at night. Hats off to all these guys and gals that work so hard to try and put a catch together....and fishing has been tough lately. Please remember that they get paid by tips and work long hours before and after the boat leaves the dock. Customary mate tips are 15-20% industry wide. They are the backbone of the fleet!

Snappers are still biting. Give us a call to book your trip, july is almost full.
