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 season and limits.

Good to ask when you call

• What will we likely catch in the month I'm going?
• 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?
