MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR FISHING TRIP.
Family-friendly fishing
Fishing is a great activity for the whole family. Our guides help everyone have a great time, regardless of fishing experience.
Fly fishing lessons
Interested in learning to fly fish? Our expert guides offer lessons for beginners and advanced anglers alike.
Gear & tackle
We provide high-quality gear from our sponsors, including rods, reels, leaders, artificial lures and flies, to help you enjoy a successful fishing experience.
You’re welcome to bring your own gear. Please advise your Captain ahead of time so it can be set up with the right lines and leaders.
Fishing methods
Fly fishing, light-tackle spinning and baitcasting with artificial lures or live bait. For Snakehead, flies and artificial lures only.
Fishing licenses
A Florida freshwater fishing license is required unless you qualify for an exemption. Florida residents ages 16–64 and nonresidents ages 16 and older generally need a license. Residents age 65 and older should carry proof of age and residency.
A three-day nonresident freshwater license is $17; purchase or handling fees may apply. Please obtain the proper license before your charter.
What we provide
A cooler of cold bottled water is provided for everyone. You’re welcome to bring lunch, snacks and refreshments.
Shore lunch is included on three-quarter-day (6-hour) and full-day (7–8-hour) fishing charters. Please request it when booking.
Shoes & boat etiquette
Wear soft-soled shoes with light-colored soles. White-soled tennis shoes are a great choice. Avoid black soles and leather soles, which can leave hard-to-clean marks.
- Do not step on seat cushions.
- Stay at your fishing position unless the Captain asks you to move.
- No bananas on board! Let’s leave the gators and sharks out of it.
What to bring
- Polarized glasses
- Hat or cap
- Buff or face covering
- Non-spray sunscreen — spray can stain the boat
- Rain gear
- Bug spray
- UPF sun-protective clothing
- Medications
Launching times & locations
Your trip starts at the time arranged with your Captain. Typical launch windows are 7–7:30 AM or 8–9 AM, depending on the season and fishing conditions.
Several launch locations are used. Your Captain will confirm the location closer to your trip and keep you updated.
Get plenty of rest and arrive on time. Your Captain is not responsible for fishing time lost to a late arrival. Avoid eating or drinking too much beforehand, and use the restroom before boarding.
Fly anglers: prepare your cast
Practice your casting and double hauls before your trip. It saves time, makes things easier for you and your Captain, and improves your chances of success.
Listen to your guide
Accurate casts and the right presentation matter, especially when sight fishing. Follow your Captain’s directions — when asked to cast at 10 o’clock, aim there rather than 2 o’clock!
Photos & videos
Your Captain will take photos and some videos during the trip. They can be sent by text or email so you can share them with friends and family.
Your Captain retains rights to trip photos and videos. If you do not wish to appear on social media, please let your Captain know.
What to expect
A fun, memorable fishing adventure with friends or family, an escape from the everyday, and a day of learning and sharing knowledge. Your Captain will do their best to make it an enjoyable, successful day together.
Remember… catching fish is just a bonus!
