Run by a highly experienced captain and first mate duo, Reel Funds Fishing Charters offers anglers a wide spectrum of trips, designed to accommodate different preferences and skill levels. Captain Joe Walburn has a vast knowledge of the local fishery and his aim on every trip is to give customers an experience of a lifetime. Although he specializes in bottom fishing for Grouper and Snapper, he’ll gladly go after any fish swimming in the Gulf waters!
Come aboard the captain’s 36’ Crusader Sportfish, restored as recently as 2018 and powered by twin 350 HP Yamaha outboards capable of reaching speeds of up to 50 mph. The boat’s spacious walkaround design, allows 6 anglers to comfortably fish at the same time. Equipped with the latest electronics, safety, and fish-finding systems, she is fully loaded with all the things an angler could need on the water. The vessel is wheelchair accessible, features a private toilet, and has plenty of shade and comfortable seating.
You’ll be provided with everything you need to fish. Captain Joe and his crew take great pride in keeping everything in impeccable shape, primed and waiting for that catch of a lifetime. On board, you’ll find top-notch Penn and Shimano equipment, as well as any bait you may be needing on the trip – all included in the price. The crew will bait your hooks and take the fish off the hook for you. For your convenience, they’ll also clean and bag your fish at the end of the trip.
All you have to do is fish and have a good time. All you should pack for the trip are some food, drinks, sunscreen, and a camera. The captain asks for all guests to be at the meetup location 15 minutes earlier. Free parking is available.
Now, all that’s left to do is to look at the captain’s calendar, find an opening that works for you, and book your next fishing adventure today!
