Gonna Miss Her Fishing Charters is ready to take you on a fishing adventure. Captain Patrick Hemphill loves to fish and share this experience with other people. He has been fishing in North Florida for over 34 years and loves the excitement of hooking others up on a big catch. Let him show you a great fishing time!

Capt. Pat’s 25’ Tidewater bay boat is usually ready to go 20 minutes before the departure time. If you arrive earlier at the marina, don’t hesitate to hop aboard immediately and get a few bonus minutes on your trip. The vessel accommodates up to 4 anglers who can fish at the same time in full comfort.

Your main fishing grounds will be inshore and backcountry waters. The nearshore trips are also available, weather permitting. If it’s choppy out there, you’ll probably stay inshore for safety. The fish you’re most likely to catch are Black Drum, Flounder, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Whiting, and Barracuda.

Capt. Pat will prepare your fishing equipment, lures, live bait, and fresh water on the boat. Your fishing license is covered and after the trip, your catch will be cleaned and filleted. Feel free to bring your snacks, drinks, sunglasses, or anything that will make your trip more comfortable.

Kids of all ages are welcome and there are no obstacles in making your trip into an unforgettable family adventure.

Gonna Miss Her Fishing Charters is at your service year-round, ready to help you catch your next meal!
