Split Shot Charters
Split Shot Charters
Split Shot Charters caters to a wide array of anglers. If you and your family would like to spend half a day enjoying the sunshine, learning about the marine ecosystem and catching whatever's biting that day, you'll find trips where you can do exactly that.
If, on the other hand, you're looking to go after a very particular fish and need a captain who knows exactly where you'd have the best chance at your dream catch this is definitely the charter for you. Captain Russ Lowers is a marine biologist with experience working for NASA, a divemaster and an experienced captain. If your target swims in these waters he'll know where to look.
Your boat for the day will be a 2019, 28' Delta, equipped with all the necessary safety equipment, GPS, fishfinder, live bait tank, and a private toilet, the boat provides anglers with all the things they could need for a productive day of fishing. The vessel can accommodate up to 6 anglers who can all fish together on trolling trips. If you're bottom fishing, 2-3 anglers can fish together.
Kids above the age of 5 are welcome, but parents should always consider whether their child will be able to handle being at the sea for the duration of the trip. Things you should pack for the trip are food and drinks, sunscreen and sunglasses. At the conclusion of your trip, the captain can clean your catch free of charge.
Now, if you already have a couple of dates in mind, check the captain's calendar for openings, book a trip that best suits you and come meet Split Shot Charters on the water!

My son and grandsons took this fishing charter and the captain definitely put them on some fish. My son caught 25 and my grandson caught 32. Great time!!
Captains Russ and Brenton are fantastic. Both extremely friendly knowledgeable and personal. Lots of fun to spend the day with. I’ve done three trips with them in the last few years. They’ve always put me on very large fish and large numbers. They will wear you out reeling in big fish. These guys know where the fish. I’ve taken many charter trips over the years and theses guys are by far the best I’ve ever gone with. Can’t wait for the next trip with them.
We booked the whole day trip charter, but we weren't able to go as planned. Mother Nature had other plans for us and kept us from going out to sea. What I wanted to emphasize is that Captain Russ had his eye on the weather and kept us updated with every weather change. The day of the trip he informed us that the sea was rough and let us know of the situation if we still want to go. We ended up canceling because we had a few people in our group who are prone to sea sick. I really appreciate his continuous contact. I would really recommend him and booking with him again when the weather is better.
Capt Russ and Mate Capt Brent made sure a good time was had by all. Caught lots of fish as Captain Russ knew where they would be. The boat was small but had everything you needed and ran beautifully. You can tell they take pride and have a passion for what they do. We had 5 and felt comfortable on a very hot day.
We had a great day with Split Shot team! The experience was great all around, with a good mix of fishing types, assistance at just the right times, and good conversations. The boat was comfortable and the team provided great service and a terrific recommendation to take some of the catch to Grilles restaurant where they “cook your catch” and wrap around some sides to make an amazing meal of super fresh fish. I highly recommend Split Shot.
