Contact and booking details

Dennis King and his boat

The captain's introduction emphasizes local fishing knowledge and guidance for small parties. The listed vessel, called Panga, is a 24-foot bay boat with a Suzuki 90, GPS and a fishfinder. The stated passenger capacity is four.

Discuss shade, seating and restroom access with Dennis when reserving. A small inshore boat suits a different outing from a large offshore vessel. Include children and guests coming along to watch in the four-person count.

Six-hour fishing packages

The advertised six-hour trips start at $500. Separate listings describe family, beginner, scenic and experienced-angler versions, but they belong to the same service. Choose according to the type of guidance you want rather than treating them as separate boats.

Target descriptions include redfish, seatrout, drum, jacks and mackerel. Dedicated redfish-focused fishing can be discussed with Dennis. Ask for the current guest basis, departure time and total attached to your chosen date.

Provided tackle and catch handling

Quality rods, reels, tackle, lures, bait, fishing license coverage and cleaning or filleting are listed. Guests bring snacks, drinks, clothing for the forecast and sun protection. Explain any preference for live bait or artificial lures.

The captain chooses the fishing area according to conditions. Let him know whether learning techniques or pursuing a particular species is your main goal. Legal retention must be checked on the day rather than assumed from the menu's target list.

Deposit and launch instructions

A deposit is required at checkout, with the balance due by credit or cash on the trip date. The stated guest cancellation deadline is 14 days for a deposit refund. Captain cancellations may be rescheduled or refunded.

Call or email Dennis for the exact launch. The site uses St. Marks and Crawfordville area wording, so confirm the ramp and parking rather than following a general town label. Obtain the arrival time and applicable deposit amount in the confirmation.

Details checked October 9, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
