Reel Lucky Fishing Charters is truly jack-of-all-trades in the charter business. Whether you’re interested in inshore, nearshore, or offshore fishing trips, they have the equipment to match the task.

The Reel Lucky Too is a fully custom-built 2019 25’ Texas-style C Hawk. Equipped with a bimini top for shade and enclosed head/toilet. This boat is able to creep across shallow flats with its wireless trolling engine or charge it offshore comfortably and quickly with a 250 HP Suzuki engine. As well as do everything in between. It is the perfect boat to sample the different fisheries the Florida Gulf Coast offers.

If the weather changes last minute this boat can adapt and convert to an optimal inshore charter without having to cancel and ruin your trip.

Inshore trips include fishing for Snook, Redfish, Trout, Tarpon, Mangrove Snapper, Flounder, Cobia, and Sharks. This fishing is done on the flats and along mangrove lines where it’s easy to tuck out of the wind if necessary providing a comfortable fishing experience for those who may have a tendency to get sea-sick.

Nearshore trips take you to wrecks and reefs less than 9 miles from shore where the fish are bigger. The species you can encounter on these trips are nearly limitless. This is basically an offshore experience for half the cost. On wrecks, you can simultaneously fish light, mid and heavy tackle for a myriad of species while fishing a handline for the epic 300 lb+ Goliath Grouper Tug-o-War!

All trips include fishing licenses, top-end Shimano, G. Loomis, and custom-built rods, live and dead bait, music, ice, cold and dry storage,  photos, videos, fish cleaning, and beach/snorkeling if you desire.

Customize your adventure with Captain Joseph DePhillips So he can tailor the perfect experience for your group. Book your adventure with Reel Lucky Fishing Charters!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM)

Great accommodation

VERIFIED

We booked with Reel Lucky after our depends trip was cancelled last minute due to weather. Only having one day that we had set aside for fishing on spring break, Capt Joe and His mate Chris were able to accommodate us on a near shore/ in shore trip. Conditions were far from ideal with wind gusts that made things difficult but we were still able to get on some fish and ended the day catching some sharks. Chris did a great job keeping 5 lines baited. We had a great time and I look forward to fishing with them again.
