What they fish for

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.

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?
