Explore the lovely waters around Placida in Florida and have a first-class fishing experience with Family Traditions Charter Co. Captain Will Hubbard is a cordial and skilled angler who’ll take you to inshore and nearshore waters and help you make a good catch as well as have lots of fun. Join him and meet Placida’s marine world in a great way.
You’ll fish from a 23’ Hanson center console that’s powered by a 150 HP Suzuki engine. The boat can carry up to 6 anglers. Thanks to its quality GPS, fishfinder, and radio systems, you will reach the fish safely and quickly. The boat uses a wireless trolling motor for a more tactful approach to the fish, is equipped with a fighting chair, and has got a livewell to provide live bait. There will also be a first mate on board to give you any help you might need.
You can chase a variety of fish in this area. There’s Black Drum, Mangrove Snapper, King Mackerel, Sheepshead, Snook, as well as many other interesting species. Using light and heavy tackle, you and the captain will catch by trolling and bottom fishing. You can choose the amount of your catch that you will take home, or, if you prefer, you can release it. Kids of all ages are welcome to join aboard and there can be no smoking during the trip.
The captain will cover you with all the fishing equipment you’ll need as well as with licenses. He’ll also clean and fillet your catch so you can easily take it home. What you should bring before you arrive are just some food and drinks.
Come visit Family Traditions Charter Co. and have a wonderful fishing experience on the waters of Placida!

3/4 Day Trip
Captain Will was a tremendous guide with excellent service and equipment. His Boat was extremely spacious which made for easy access to move around and cast your rod.. Even with a NE wind between 12-18 mph all day he maneuvered with precision through out the day. He optimized our chances on a tough day with tips and techniques for my wife and I both and landed 10+ Snook on less then ideal conditions (wind wise). Conversations with Captain Will were easy and some local knowledge of the area was appreciated. I recommend Captain Will for anyone looking for a good time with family & friends no matter your skill level he will get you right. Thanks again Capt.

Myself and 4 other people had an awesome time. My crew and I signed up for a 6-hour excursion; however, Captain Will left the option open to add on two additional hours if we wanted. We were kind of skeptical about the weather and the effects that it might have had on our day. However, Captain Will was able to take us to the right spots where were able to land snook, trout, and redfish. He had all of the particulars taken care, such as bait, tackle, and the licensing. I highly recommend him and will definitely go out with him and his son again in the future.

We could not have had a better day of back country fishing than we did with the guys. They had us catching snook within ten minutes , and ended the day with a monster sea trout. My friend and I fought 33 fish in our competition - would have been more if we hadn’t missed a few! The boat was immaculate, and we felt like we made two new friends. I’ve charted lots of fishing days - these guys are pros. We will definitely charter again.
