The Florida Panhandle offers an ace range of fish that accompanies the great scenery and superb weather. One of the area experts to take you out is Captain Miles and his team at Tradition Fishing Charters. Their top of the line sportfishing boats are the perfect vessels to accommodate you on your mission to get the catches that you're after.

You'll be fishing aboard a 23' Proline center console. This boat is powered by a 250 HP Suzuki engine that will take you to any offshore spot sooner than you expect. There's enough room for 6 anglers to fish at the same time and you don't have to wait for your turn. With the newest navigational electronics, a live bait tank, and a cooler, you've got everything you need for a successful day of fishing right here.

There's a trip for every angler out there. If you've never fished before, you can start with a 2-hour catch and release trip. If you love being on the boat, take a few hours more and target inshore species, such as Redfish, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, and Flounder. When you're up for some adrenaline, go for an offshore trip, where you can target Amberjack, Snapper, Mahi Mahi, and Kingfish.

The captain covers your fishing license and equipment, so you only need to take care of your beverages, food, and sun protection. If you're a fan of seafood, you can keep the catch and the captain will clean it for you free of charge.

    This was the best trip I've ever had!!!

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on September 5, 2024 • 3 adults

    My sister booked this trip for myself and 2 other guests. Weather didn't seem like it was going to cooperate but Captain Willie kept an eye on the weather and informed us of a good window of opportunity, which turned out to be perfect! Place was easy to find and boat was nice. Captain Willie really knew the places to go to catch fish!! We caught roughly 17 fish: snapper, shark, flounder, and even a stingray! We had such a great time! I would highly recommend Captain Willie and will definitely be using him again. Thanks so much for an awesome trip!

    Captain Willie was the best, he worked with the boys and made sure they were busy fishing. When the fish were on he turned it up and caught a bunch. Boys complained about their wrists hurting from reeling so much!
