Captain Glenn welcomes kids on his boat and provides all the fishing rods, reels, and terminal tackle, as well as bait, drinks, and licenses. If you want to fly fish, you’ll need to bring your own gear. In case you keep your catch, the captain offers free cleaning and filleting. Pack some snacks and drinks and you’ll be all set.

6 Hour Trip – Offshore Fishing
Awesome fishing trip
Had an awesome time with my son, daughter, Captain Glen, and John our deck hand. They were very attentive and helpful to our fishing needs. Put us on some outstanding fishing reefs. We caught our limit on red snapper and only 5 short on mingos (vermillion snapper). Not captains fault, we missed enough to limit everything 😁. Would highly recommend this charter to anyone who wants a good time on the water.

6 Hour Trip – Offshore Fishing
Good day of fishing, beware of dolphins
Very good day of fishing. We had to move because of weather but that's par for the course in Florida. Capt. Glenn and mate April got us on good fishing right off . When things slowed, he moved us to other spots that produced, until the dolphin showed up. Dolphins essentially scare off fish so we would do well for a bit but then it would stop. This continued for three spots or so and we couldn't shake him so we decided to call it a day. Capt. Glenn did his best and we still had a good haul. Would recommend this charter.
