OTF Inshore Charters in Steinhatchee

Captain Chris Graham, better known as Chico, runs OTF Inshore Charters from Steinhatchee. His fishing trips explore the Gulf flats for redfish, spotted seatrout and other coastal fish. Seasonal scalloping gives families another way to spend a day in the water.

Contact and booking details

Meet Captain Chico

Graham grew up in Levy County and first made his living guiding hunters. His biography records a captain license in 2014 and a move into full-time fishing in 2016. He welcomes individual anglers and families, including people who have never used saltwater tackle.

The main fishing focus is shallow Gulf water. Redfish, trout and flounder feature in his trip descriptions. Tarpon, cobia and mackerel are additional seasonal possibilities. Tell Chico whether you want steady fishing for several species or have a particular fish in mind.

Fishing trips and listed costs

The dedicated rates page advertises fishing at $700 for one to three people and $750 for four. It describes a four- to eight-hour window rather than giving separate prices for each duration. Confirm how long your reservation will last and how the day is planned.

Bait, tackle, fishing licenses, ice and water are listed as included. Fish cleaning costs extra. Bring food and any drinks beyond the supplied water. Ask about cooler space before arriving with a large cooler of your own.

Scalloping is a separate outing

The rates page lists scalloping at $600 for one to six people, with equipment, ice and water supplied. Scallop cleaning is an additional charge. An older homepage promotion specifically refers to the 2023 season and gives a lower price. Use a direct quote from the captain for a new reservation.

Scalloping involves getting into the water rather than fishing from the deck. Discuss swimming confidence, children, equipment sizes and the current season before choosing it. River tours and sunset cruises are also mentioned by the business.

Arrange the meeting point

Call or email Chico with your preferred date, party size and choice of fishing or scalloping. The website gives both a Sea Hag Marina address and a separate contact address. Have him identify the correct dock and parking area for your trip.

No dependable boat model or detailed cancellation terms were confirmed in the reviewed pages. Ask about the vessel, shade, boarding arrangements, deposit and weather policy before making payment.
