Spending a day with Fish Master Charters is a great way to have an amazing fishing trip that’s on a budget. Each trip can be adjusted to your skill level, so you don’t need any preparations. Operating out of St. Mary’s Georgia, 8 miles from historic Cumberland Island, you can travel to St. Simon’s Island, Jekyll Island Georgia, and South to Fernandina Beach. There are lots of beautiful things to see and lots of tasty fish to catch!

You’ll be fishing from a 20’ Hydra Sports that accommodates up to 4 guests. This center console is powered by a 225 HP Mercury engine and features navigational electronics and safety equipment, including life vests for kids. She also features a live bait tank and a cooler.

Explore the local reefs, wrecks, and inshore spots, targeting Snapper, Redfish, Black Drum, Spotted Seatrout, and more. You can catch most of these using light tackle and you’ll easily get the hang of it, with your captain’s assistance. You get to keep the fish after the trip and you can have it cleaned for a small fee at the dock

Your fishing license, bait and equipment are fully covered by the captain. Feel free to bring your snacks and drinks but make sure there are no glass bottles. To avoid slipping on the boat, don’t wear flip-flops or sandals. And to avoid bad luck, don’t bring bananas!

Fish Master Charters will teach you everything you need to know for amazing fishing action. Bring your loved ones and spend some quality time together, while enjoying the outdoors. A $100.00 deposit will be required to fish master charters after the booking and go toward the trip cost. This deposit is to insure you show up on time. No show will forfeit the deposit.
