Taken from what the charter lists on its own website, so it may not be every fish they catch. Ask the captain about anything you're hoping to target. Tap a fish for its Florida season and limits.

- How long is the trip, and what time do we leave?
- Is bait, tackle and a fishing license included?
- Can we keep and clean our catch?
- What's the cancellation policy if the weather turns?
