Excited to cast a line in Port St. Joe? Look no further than Captain Doug Chason! Captain Doug will be your guide, which means you'll tap into their professional experience.

These waters are known for Redfish, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Red Snapper, Black Seabass, Black Drum, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

You'll be dropping lines from a 25' Champion center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don't leave home without bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with Captain Doug Chason!

Like many other guides, I have been fishing since I could hold a fishing pole. Fishing is my way of life and I am excited to introduce others to it.
