Captain Adam, a born and raised local, has been fishing in these waters for over 30 years. He is the owner of Tide Chaser Enterprises LLC and has 3 other captains that work with him – Capt. Lucas (Saltwater Assassin), Capt. Adam (Tide Chaser), and Capt. Tommy (Tip-Up Fishing Co) Captain Tommy is also our (Floater Captain). They are your go-to for all things fishing in their neck of the woods/water.

Saltwater Assassin Sportsman 247 Masters is a 2017 model. It’s 24’ long and will fit 5 guests comfortably. Its 300 HP Yamaha engine can take you to Captain Lucas’ favorite grounds in no time at all so you can optimize your time when you’re down here.

Captain Adam and his crew are true all-rounders when it comes to fishing. Using a variety of techniques, they ensure that you have the best time possible reeling them in. Although they primarily use common angling techniques, they can also set up some kite fishing. You can expect to reel in Black Drum, Cobia, Flounder, King Mackerel, Redfish, Black Seabass, and Spadefish when you’re out with either Captain Adam or one of his other captains.

A typical trip will take you fishing either inshore or nearshore depending on the weather.

All the gear will be provided for you including fishing rods and reels.
