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!

Top-Notch Captain and a Fantastic Experience!
Backwater Trip (AM) on December 11, 20252 adults1 child
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. 🎣✨

Had a great day with Captain Cody. He always knew where to put us on the fish. Great knowledge on the fish in the area, as well as local wildlife. One of the best experiences we have had. If you are looking for an all-around great guide, this is the one!
