Southern Hook Charters specializes in inshore and nearshore fishing in Cortez, Florida. It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned angler or you’ve never cast a bait in the water, Captain Chase Carter will help you have a memorable fishing experience. Join him in fishing rivers, reefs, wrecks, and flats, and have a wonderful day on the sea.

The adventure starts on a 24’ T Craft bay boat powered by a 300 HP Suzuki engine. It’s equipped with full navigation electronics and can sit up to six guests. It features a wireless trolling motor, ice-box, and livewell.

You’ll have a huge choice of fish to chase. To name just a few, there’ll be Snapper, Tarpon, King Mackerel, Grouper, Amberjack, and Cobia. You’ll be using light and heavy tackle to bottom fish, troll, and spin. Feel free to bring kids along, maybe they’ll just love being on the water and learning about fishing. You can keep whatever you catch, but you can also release it back to the water if you want to.

All the fishing gear will wait for you on the boat. This means rods, reels, terminal tackle, lures, and live bait. The captain will also clean and fillet your catch free of charge. You should only pack some food or drinks, and bring you licenses.

Book a trip with Southern Hook Charters and have an adventurous day of fishing Florida’s beautiful southwest waters.
