Trip #1 | Denio Charters & Knee Deep Brewing Co. Sponsored
Hello everyone,
Friday morning, May 8, 2026, we drove out of Fisherman’s Landing on Trip #1 Richard Denio and Knee Deep Brewing Company Sponsored, 3-Day, Friday, May 8 to Monday, May 11, 2026. This was an epic trip. Got out to the zone Friday afternoon and were able to start picking at fish once it was dark. Saturday made a change to a different zone and got on fish in the afternoon and just before sundown. Sunday afternoon one of guys donated a bluefin and we enjoyed fresh tuna. That night there were good schools in the dark and the big ones were biting. We returned home Monday morning. Good times and good fishing for all the guys.
Tomorrow morning, we leave out on Trip #2, 3-Day Limited Load, May 12 – 15, 2026.
We have 1 spot open on Trip #6, 4-Day Limited Load, Monday, May 25, 2026, to Friday, May 29, 2026.
