Join Captain Jeff Ruppart on a light tackle inshore charter on the grass flats and bays of the forgotten coast. Explore Apalachicola, Carrabelle, and Lanark village any time of the year. Your guide is a lifelong angler, who loves sharing his experience with other people. Whether this is your first time on the boat or you already have an admirable list of trophies, you’ll have a great time here.

You’ll be fishing on an 18’ Sea chaser that accommodates up to 2 guests. This flats boat is powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine and reaches the speed of 30 knots. Besides safety gear, the boat has GPS, a fishfinder, a live bait tank, and a cooler. Offering a safe and reliable ride, the vessel will take you to your fishing spot in no time.

Whether you prefer light tackle spinning or flyfishing There’s lots of species you can catch this way, from Redfish, Tarpon, and Tripletail, to Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, and Spotted Trout. After the trip, the captain will clean and fillet your catch free of charge, so you can bring a cooler if you’re saving the meat for later, or go straight to a nearby restaurant.

All fishing equipment is included in the price, as well as licenses. Captain Jeff has been selling flies and custom fishing tackle for decades, so he knows what’s the best equipment out there. All of this will be ready on the boat. You only need to pack some snacks, drinks, and sunblock.

Choose Captain Jeff Ruppart for your next fly fishing adventure!
