If you are looking for a light tackle adventure in the Mosquito Lagoon, give Tug Of War Charters a try. The company is owned and operated by a Florida native who has been fishing these waters for his whole life.

Join Captain Randy Kraft and let him put his talent to work for you. He offers fun-filled trips for the whole family and can cater to anglers of all skill levels and expertise. Even if you have never held a fishing rod in your hand before, you don’t have to worry!

Bring your kids with you and let Capt. Randy put them on their first fish. There is hardly anything better than seeing a child’s smile and sharing fishing stories with everyone on board!

16’ Boat and 70 Yamaha motor. Flats fishing the world-famous Mosquito Lagoon and Oak Hill areas near Kennedy SpaceX. Guaranteed to see dolphins and/or manatees

The vessel is outfitted with fishfinding and navigational electronics to save your time while searching for a big one. There is also a livewell filled with bait to make sure nothing can resist your hooks and an icebox for your refreshments. The only thing that’s missing is you!

Battle Redfish, get your hands on massive Black Drum or fill the cooler with Seatrout. All the necessary gear, tackle, bait, and lures will be provided by the captain. You will only need to bring your snacks with you!

Once you’re done fishing, your catch will be cleaned for you free of charge. Fill the freezer and get your weekly dinners sorted out. It’s Fish On!
