Tradition Fishing Charters – 23'

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.
