Boat and fishing styles
The published boat is a 24-foot Morgan with a 300-horsepower outboard and onboard facilities. Backwater trips use live bait or artificials around mangroves, shorelines and sandy beaches. Snook, redfish, tarpon, trout and snapper are possible targets. Nearshore trips can visit reefs or wrecks for species such as snapper, grouper and mackerel.
Trip lengths and prices
Published backwater fares are $600 for four hours and $900 for six hours. Four-hour nearshore fishing is listed at $700. Fishing-and-shelling combinations are also offered. Rates cover four guests, with a listed $50 charge for each additional person. Confirm the maximum passenger count and final price for your chosen trip.
Included gear and what to bring
Bait, tackle and fishing-license coverage are included. Bring your own food and drinks, sun protection and a light cover-up. Let the captain know if you want to combine fishing with an island stop, rather than assuming shelling time is included in every fishing charter.
Payment and weather
The site lists cash or check payments and a $100 reservation deposit. The deposit becomes nonrefundable seven days before departure. Offshore trips may move to calmer inshore water if conditions require it. Discuss that alternative and the captain’s weather decision before reserving.
