Big O’s Fishing Charters is located in Little River and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Orlando will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 4 to 12 hour trips, mainly fishing for King, Mackerel Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Dolphin, Amberjack, Grouper, Black Sea Bass, and Snapper, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as bottom fishing and trolling.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 35’ triton center console, Coast Guard certified boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a toilet and everything needed for a great day on the water.  Also, we are located in one of the closest marinas to the ocean. We can be in the ocean in about 10 min from leaving the dock.  On our 4 - and 6-hour nearshore trips, we can be fishing within 15 mins from leaving dock.

All rods, reels, bait, 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 fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.

I've been fishing Little River area most of my life. Starting off in creaks and backwater estuaries. Moved to offshore and I was hooked. I enjoy taking new fishermen out and seeing their face when they hook up to a big fish.
