Stacy Horak's fishing approach

Stacy's introduction describes decades exploring Florida's Gulf Coast and an interest in teaching children and beginners. Her inshore targets include redfish, seatrout, sheepshead and seasonal coastal species. The plan changes with the tides and water conditions.

The website's principal vessel listing names a 24-foot Carolina Skiff Sea Chaser for six guests, while a biography paragraph names a Sea Pro with different power. Confirm the assigned boat and passenger limit directly rather than relying on the mixed descriptions.

Package prices and alternatives

The shallow-water fishing package starts at $495, an extended coastal trip at $595 and all-day backwater fishing at $795. Ask for their exact clock hours and price basis. The fishing menu describes different levels of time and range.

Four-hour scalloping is $450 and six hours is $650 in the legal season. A four-hour sightseeing outing is $395. These are distinct activities; tell Stacy whether you want rod-and-reel fishing, swimming for scallops or watching coastal wildlife.

Fishing supplies and preparation

The captain lists rods, reels, tackle, license coverage and applicable live bait. Her introduction also describes cleaning legal catches. Guests bring food, drinks, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and clothing suited to the forecast.

Ask what snorkeling equipment is provided for a scalloping reservation and discuss swimming ability. Mention children's ages early. Wildlife sightings and particular fish are possibilities, so the outing should be selected for its activity rather than a guaranteed encounter.

Deposit and direct arrangements

A deposit is applied at checkout, with credit or cash accepted for the balance on the trip date. The stated guest cancellation period is three days for a deposit refund. Captain cancellations allow rescheduling or a refund.

Call or email Stacy for the exact ramp and departure time. Confirm the deposit amount, cutoff time and passenger count in the reservation record. Ask about the assigned vessel's shade, bathroom access and boarding support if needed.
