Ready for the excitement of fishing out on the Gulf but want a shorter trip for new fisherman or younger kids?
During a nearshore fishing charter you’ll do just that, stay nearshore–always in sight of land! This means there’s less travel time, more fishing time and no time for boredom. Your trip will be customized based on your family’s experience level and interests. Charters that specialize in beginner trips will use light tackle, ideal for newbies, to reel in red snapper, grouper and Spanish mackerel, while teaching ways to preserve the ecosystem. Most charters promote catch and release, but you’re welcome to keep fish you do reel in, within regulation.
Local Scout Tip
Ask your captain for their favorite restaurants that will cook your catch. You’ll be surprised by how even picky eaters might enjoy eating a meal they caught themselves!
