What
are We Fishing For?
The
question is really what are you looking to fish for? We
offer light tackle inshore fishing trip's for redfish,
trout,
snook, black
drum, and small tarpon.
Talk to us, and let us know what your expectations are.
This way we can plan the best trip we can for you. Please
keep in mind that the season and skill level can dictate
what we are able to target.
What
Should I Bring?
Depending
on the length of charter consider bringing snacks, drinks,
camera, hat, and a rain jacket if the weather looks like
rain. Our boats are equipped with an ice chest for your
food and drinks and we always fill it with bottled water
and fresh ice. Please pack light when packing for your trip,
there is limited space on the boats for extra's. A small
waterproof bag is also a great idea. Please, no extra coolers
on the boats.
Do
I Need to Buy a License?
No.
We cover all of your fishing licenses that you will need
while fishing with us. Our fishing Guides are both licensed
guides inside of the Canaveral National Seashore, and Merritt
Island Wildlife Refuge, as well as a U.S.C.G six pack approved
Captains. And all of our charters are fully insured. Both
Captain's are CPR and first aid certified.
What
Will We Be Fishing With?
Most
of our fishing is done with artificials as well as live
bait on light spinning tackle. Depending on your skill we
will work with you throughout the day to help you spot the
fish, and make the perfect cast. Its best to get a little
practice if you can, because every shot counts. For the
advanced angler we offer sight fishing trips. Anglers new
to fishing might feel more comfortable with live bait. It
really depends on the angler, weather, and what the fish
feel like chewing on that day.
When
is the Best Time of the Year to Fish?
Depending
on what you are looking to chase on the flat's, every month
is great in that it brings us something a little different
to fish for. Our Lagoons are special in the fact that most
of our redfish, black drum, and sea trout never leave our
lagoons to go offshore and spawn. That means we can find
fish year round inside the Lagoons.
Spring
and summer - months you can find schools of
redfish in the 20-40 pound range tailing on the flat's in
2-4 foot of water inside the Mosquito Lagoon. Tarpon, and
big snok move onto the flat's as well. During the spring
and fall mullet runs, anglers can look foward to that slam
three, even a few grand slams in the Sebastian back waters
on light tackle.
Fall
and winter - months the water becomes gin
clear from the cooler water temps and the sight fishing
is at it's best. The shrimp spawn on the flat's really fires
up the redfish bite. You will also find trout, and black
drum tailing in super shallow water. The tarpon are gone,
and the snook get very picky around the cold fronts.
Can
We Keep Our Fish?
We
encourage catch, photo, and release fishing with our customers.
This helps reduce the strain on our fishery and will greatly
ensure our future success in fishing. If your looking to
take a couple fish home ( recipes
) for dinner that night you will need to bring a small
cooler that will stay in your car while your out fishing.
Our Guides will clean and bag then for you free of charge.
If your looking to fill your cooler with fish to take home
and freeze, then you might want to find a different Guide
service.
If your looking
to mount a prize fish we suggest
MountThis.
