East Coast Fishing Charters
East Coast Fishing Charters
Discover the bountiful fishing grounds of Vero Beach and the Sebastian area with East Coast Fishing Charters! With Captain Donald, both inshore and offshore fishing is an option, all you have to do is say what you’d prefer.
You will be angling out of a brand new 22’ Pathfinder Center console, powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine, ready and steady to take you on your fishing expedition. You will be casting lines within the first hour of your trip, and what’s more, you get to fish for live bait along the way, which is always fun.
Your captain will be with you constantly, checking if you need any help and what he can do for you to make the entire experience more enjoyable. Some of the A-listers of the area you will be fishing are Redfish, Speckled Trout, Snook, and even some Mahi Mahi, and Cobia if the tides align.
Catching Snook is the captain’s specialty, and he knows some of the “Snookiest” spots around. Maybe you’ll even hook up a gorgeous Tarpon if they’re in season during your trip.
You will be equipped with top-rate fishing gear for your angling adventure, including Shimano and Penn reels, and top-notch rods and tackle. Capt. Donald will take care of your fishing license, and he will also clean, fillet, and bag your catch for you at the end of the trip. Bottled water is also provided, you just need to take care of your snacks and food and show up ready to rumble.
If you’re a novice, the captain will gladly teach you the basics, if you’re an experienced angler, he’ll share his knowledge of the area with you. If you want to bring your children, go ahead, just make sure that they’re 12 years and older.
Fishing with East Coast Fishing Charters grants you an amazing catch, beautiful scenery as a backdrop, and an experienced captain to put on you on the fish — what else could you possibly want from a fishing trip?

6 hour snook trip
I don’t do charters very often and have had some bad experiences with them in the past. But since I was visiting a friend in Melbourne I thought I’d give it a go and try to get my first snook and get my girlfriend on her first big fish. Captain Don did a great job putting us on the fish and showing us the technique. He managed to get 2 novices multiple stud snook and myself on snook after snook and finished the day with a bull redfish. We all had a great time and I look forward to coming back in the future.

Wonderful 4 Hour Charter in and around the Sebastian Inlet!
Captain Don did an amazing job of putting my father and I on fish the entire morning! His boat and equipment were well kept and fairly new and he had no problem filling the live well with lots of good bait. We successfully fished three habitats in a four hour charter. He first took us to some nice eel grass flats where we landed a good sized sea trout. Then we headed to the inlet where we were expertly put on more fish while the surrounding anglers looked on. We caught three respectable snook. Then we ran down the beach until we found some tarpon rolling near shore. We hooked a 100+ pound tarpon and fought it for a long while until it straightened the hook. Capt. Don took many videos and pictures throughout the day. He has an agreeable personality and was always concerned about our welfare and desires. Check out his instagram page (his full name) to see what he has been catching. Highly recommended!!

Had a lot of action, but could only land a few. Good fighting fish and barracuda kept us from getting them on deck. Weather shortened our time on open water but was still a blast. Don brought us close to shore to try for some snook and we were able to get a nice Jack. It was a great time for all and will be back to try again.
