All of our gear is top-notch and insure you will be comfortable all day!
You will be using both light and heavy tackle and will chase Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Black Drum, Sheepshead, sharks, and Flounder You’re free to keep all the fish you catch that are of legal limits or you can release it back to the water. Our captains welcome all kids on our boats, so feel free to bring them along and make the atmosphere on the boat even more fun.
There’s no need to bother about the fishing gear because you’re covered for everything from rods, reels, and tackle to lures and bait to fishing licenses. The only thing you should pack before you go is your favorite food and drinks. We also can provide snacks for an additional charge. Ask about the snackle box when you book your charter!

Tons of Fun
My wife and I went out for a two hour trip with Captain Dave. Following scheduling the trip, Dave called me to discuss what it would be like since there was a hurricane off the coast and gave me the option to cancel for free if we didn’t like the plan. I just wanted to do some fishing however we could so inshore worked best for us. We met up with Captain Dave at the discussed time and had a blast on the trip. The weather turned out to be better than expected so we got to fish the harbor some. Saw some dolphins and other sights while fishing as well. Overall, the trip was awesome even though we didn’t have much luck. Captain Dave tried his hardest to get us on some fish but to no avail, he even kept us out a little extra past our reserved time in hopes we would get a bite. He was extremely friendly, knowledgable, welcoming, and accommodating. I really appreciated him making sure the plan was fine with us before hand, it shows this charter isn’t in it purely for the money, they want people to enjoy themselves as well. Will definitly schedule with them again next time we come back to IOP.

Captain knows where to fish.
My only recommendation is to express you want him to purchase live shrimp (you probably need to reimburse him). I think we would have had better luck with live bait.
