Little River has a fish with your name on it, so let Long Line Fishing Charters help you catch it! Captain Lawrence will be your guide, bringing aboard years of angling experience.

These waters are known for Amberjack, Great Barracuda, Cobia, Gag Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Narrow-barred Spanish Mackerel, Vermilion Snapper, Hammerhead Shark, Black Seabass, Kingfish, Gray Triggerfish, and more. You can expect to do some fishing with heavy tackle, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Lawrence welcomes children aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You can’t go wrong when you bring snacks, drinks, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your vessel for the day is a 45’ offshore sport fishing with room for 20 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!

You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips, and it’s customary to offer them a 10–20% tip. Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Now’s the time to experience fishing in Little River for yourself with Long Line Fishing Charters!
