Skipper’s Suwannee Gulf Charters is located in Old Town and invites you to enjoy some of the state’s best inshore salt water fishing. For them, the local fall and winter fishery is surpassed by none in the state of Florida.

"The Skipper" McRae will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 7-hour trips, mainly fishing for Tripletail, Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Black Drum, Snook and Speckled Trout, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, drift fishing, jigging, popping and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 19’ Stottcraft boat that can safely take up to 4 anglers. This boat comes with a ice box.

All rods, reels and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Skipper’s Suwannee Gulf Charters.

We had a beautiful day out fishing with Skipper. We limited out on trout and caught a whopper sized drum.

Thank you Jessica and Kevin. You guys were fun to take out. You made the trip fun instead of work. Please text me the link to your YouTube page once you get it up. I'd love to see it. We should do this again when the weather is cooler and the bugs are hiding. :)

Brad and Jody were a "reel" pleasure to take out fishing, it was like spending a day on the water with long time friends, true gentlemen. Hope those fish fried up good last night! Thank you for your business!

I've been fishing the Gulf of Mexico since I was a lad. I have 50+ years experience fishing both the gulf coast out of Suwannee Florida, as well as the Atlantic Ocean. I am retired now and want to do what I love most, put people on the fish!
