Whipp It Reel Good Charters welcomes you to Florida! Join Captain Nick Whipp and let him take you fishing in his home waters of Lemon Bay and Boca Grande. Though he primarily specializes in inshore fishing, you may also enjoy bottom fishing and nearshore trips if the weather conditions are favorable. Depending on how and where you fish will dictate how many people can come aboard, but Capt. Nick assures you that he’ll do whatever he can to make your trip a wonderful one. Let’s get hooked on fishing!

You’ll be fishing out of a 22’ Skeeter SX210 bay boat that can accommodate up to 4 anglers, with licenses included for all on board. It runs on a 150 HP Yamaha engine and uses all the best electronics needed for safe and quick navigation. The boat features a wireless trolling motor and an ice-box, and comes equipped with a livewell.

You and the captain will be chasing trophy Snook, Redfish, Snapper, Grouper, Sheepshead, and Tripletail. You’ll attract them by spinning and bottom fishing on light tackle. Feel free to keep your catch at the end of your trip, and bring the kids aboard to learn all about fishing. Just remember that smoking is forbidden during the trip.

All the fishing rods, reels, tackle, live bait, as well as a catch cleaning service are included in the trip price. Bring nothing but your favorite food and drinks before you go and you’ll be set for all the fun.

Whipp It Reel Good Charters is waiting for you, come aboard and have a lovely time fishing in Florida!

Captain Nick is a born and raised Floridian. Ever since he was young, he could be found outdoors appreciating nature and wildlife. He got hooked on fishing when he was 3 years old in a neighborhood pond. The thrill of catching a trophy is what he loves the most โ€“ not to mention there's some pretty wonderful table fare that Florida's waters have to offer. Lastly, nature's unparalleled beauty is what keeps the captain coming back day after day. Put together the adrenaline-pumping fights, delicious eats, and the most beautiful scenery that Florida has to offer โ€“ that's why he's an avid fisherman.

After quite a few days of below average temperatures with cloudy, rainy, and windy conditions the tides have turned in our favor. With the lower water temperatures species like sheepshead in particular as well as trout and tripletail are eager and willing to feed. Did I mention they're all delicious and open for harvest? Fishing looks great next week and favorable for the Gulf of Mexico. Book your trips ASAP if you want to catch some tasty table fare. Tight lines, Captain Nick Whipp
