Too Hot 2 Handle Charters will get you on the hottest bite in Bay County,  Florida. This charter company promises great fun, impressive catch, and wonderful fishing experience you’ll cherish!

You will head out to your angling escapades on a 32’ Scarab Center Console that offers 360 degrees of fishing around her. She is equipped with the latest, state of the art electronics to put you right on the fish, with twin Mercury Verrado 275 HP motors that will get you there fast.

Whatever fishing technique you prefer, Too Hot 2 Handle Charters will be able to accommodate you. With a plethora of trips, suited both for beginners and passionate fishermen, your only task is to choose which one to book.

For the longer trips, you will go up to 9 miles offshore. What this means for your fishing experience is that you get an even better chance to snag a really impressive catch and boast about it to your angler friends. Shorter trips are best suited for angling novices, to give them a taste of what it all looks like.

When you do head out, depending on the time of the trip and what bites best, you can catch Snappers, Groupers, Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish,  Wahoo, and the list goes on and on. Even some Sharks are in the cards if you’re a bit lucky and spot those bad boys.

The boat is fully stocked with top-rate fishing equipment, so that’s one less thing to worry about when preparing for your trip. The charter has several different brands of rods and reels, depending on which fish you’re targeting, but Penn and Shimano are most common. Your live bait is prepared in advance, and the first mate will help you set everything up and cast your lines. Gratuity is appreciated for his dedication and assistance.

Bring your family, friends, and children, they’ll all have the best time with Too Hot 2 Handle Charters and create memories of a lifetime!

Fishing was hot!
4 Hour Trip (PM) on May 20, 20242 adults
Best Fishing trip ever. Captain Eric and his first mate made the trip fun, full of excitement , and the fishing was Hot everything was biting. The communication with the Captain was excellent, from beginning to end. He was prepared with everything we needed and had us fishing within minutes of leaving the marina. Fishing was non stop the whole time with a variety of fish caught. I would definitely use this charter again and highly recommend Captain Eric.

4hr fishing charter with Captain Eric
4 Hour Trip (PM) on September 11, 20236 adults
Our trip was fantastic! From the moment I booked with Captain Eric he was great at communicating all the to the day of our trip. He made us all feel very welcome, including offering a pair of his own sunglasses to my son when he couldn’t find his. The first spot we landed at was spoiled by a dolphin, but the at was a great experience too. Captain Eric never let us sit in one spot for long once the fish stopped biting. We all caught several fish including red snapper, vermilion snapper, mackerel and trigger fish. We also spotted a sea turtle along the way and circled back around for pictures. When we got back to the dock, we took all of our catch plus a few from Captain Eric’s previous day’s catch to the fish house for processing. We all had fish for dinner at Triple J’s and it was amazing! Thanks Captain Eric and Captain Jim!
Reported catch:

Family trip w/ Captain Eric
Trolling/Bottom Fishing Trip (AM) on April 26, 20236 adults
a minute ago NEW Captain Eric Washington and his son Lane were absolutely amazing to work with. We had 3 kids with us that were a but needy. We were constantly fishing and included. They made us all feel at home and like family. They made sure we went home with fish and enough to feed us all. After fishing, Captain Eric personally delivered and had our fish cleaned just down the road. If you're looking to catch some fish with a knowledgeable Captain who's not just in it for the money and cares about your experience than Captain Eric is your guy! Thank you Captain Eric and until next time!
