If you're looking for a fun day of inshore fishing in Florida, look no further than Make A Wake. Captain Cody has a lifelong experience in catching fish and guiding charters, and he can accommodate guests of any skill levels. Whether it's your first time with a rod or you already have a few trophies in your record, you can have an amazing time!

Join Capt. Cody on his 25' Pathfinder boat, which offers a comfortable and smooth ride. There's enough room for 6 guests (4 fishing), so bring your friends and family. Kids need to be at least 4 years old, and life vests for them are provided. Capt. Cody is great at teaching the little ones how to catch their first fish and he can keep them entertained during the whole trip.

If you want to start slow in the calm water, target Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, or Tripletail inshore. You can visit the flats and backcountry, or head out further, to the nearshore spots. There you can go after different types of Grouper and Snapper. The catch is yours to keep, so you'll leave the dock with tasty, fresh, fish fillets.

When it comes to fishing equipment, you're fully covered. There's bottled water and sodas on the boat but feel free to bring your own beverages and snacks.

It doesn't matter if you're coming to catch your first fish, try out different fishing techniques, or simply enjoy the surroundings - with Make A Wake, you can have it all. Just choose the date!

Best Captain EVER
3/4 Day Inshore on February 3, 20266 adults

Our trip with Captain Cody was very good. Not because we caught buckets of fish. It was because he tried like hell to find fish. It has been really cold here, and the water temperatures are pretty low and effecting the bite. He spent extra time with us, where most trips would have had us back to the dock an hour sooner. He even stopped on the way back, trying to have dolfins follow us in our wake. Cody is very passionate about fishing and wants you to be catching. Thank you, Cody, for making a cool day fishing a great day out on the water. we will definitely book with you again.

Thanks for the great review Mark.

excellent Fishing experience
Backwater Trip (AM) on January 2, 20263 adults

Cody is a very pleasant skipper with good knowledge of the area and over 15 years of Fishing experience. The weather was beautiful. His boat is a 25 foot Pathfinder, flats boat, ideal for our group of four. Our teenager was especially fond of riding in the tower. We caught around a dozen small sea trout, lady fish and a 13 inch flounder but Lost three or four big ones before we could get them to the boat. We visited three or four spots with different baits. overall, we got our moneys worth and would do it again.

Response from Captain

Thanks for the great review, I really appreciate it.

Nearshore Trip (PM) on February 6, 20263 adults

Captain Cody gave us an unforgettable fishing trip. We caught sheepshead and red drum, and at one point a dolphin swooped in and took one of our discarded fish—something you don’t see every day. On top of great fishing, Captain Cody showed real professionalism and care by helping a pelican that had gotten hooked and safely removing it. You can tell he knows the water and respects the wildlife. Fantastic experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Response from Captain

Thanks for the great review. Just clarifying the pelican was trying to steal our fish while I was filleting your catch. (it wasnt our hook)

We had an amazing time on our fishing charter with Captain Cody! He was awesome from start to finish. He is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely fun to be around. He did an excellent job getting us on the fish, and he was absolutely wonderful with our 4-year-old, making the whole experience exciting and comfortable for our little one. He created such a fun, memorable day for our family and I even caught my first shark! Highly recommend Captain Cody for anyone looking for a great day on the water. 🎣✨
