Join Captain James Bland and Wild Child Charters for a day of offshore fishing in Franklin County, FL. Capt. James offers offshore trips year-round. An experience which is great fun for the whole family. All ages are welcome aboard and you don’t need previous fishing experience.
Come aboard Capt. James’ 26’ Twin Vee center console that accommodates 6 guests. There’s a cooler on board to keep your drinks cold and fresh but you can also bring your own (especially if you want to keep the catch).
On your fishing trips, you’ll head offshore and fish for various species such as Snapper (including Red Snapper when in season), Grouper, and more. You could also hook into the likes of Spanish and King Mackerel.
Fishing equipment will be provided and the captain also supplies fresh water. You only need to bring your snacks for the day and you’re good to go!
Capt. James has fulfilled his lifelong dream of becoming a professional fishing guide. Seeing people experience the same thing makes him happier than when he catches a fish on his own. He especially likes to provide someone’s first fishing experience and welcomes beginners.
Capt. James looks forward to meeting you on the dock!
