Running angling trips out of Vero Beach, Sebastian, and Ft. Pierce, Bottoms Up Fishing Guides invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Capt. Justin is here to get you on some fish, and to make sure you have fun doing it. You’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, and spinning, depending on what you’re going after. As part of their 4 to 8-hour trips, you can target species like Cobia, Mahi Mahi, King Mackerel, Sheepshead, Snapper, and Grouper, depending on the current season and weather conditions.

You’ll be fishing from a 25’ Hydra-Sports boat with enough room for up to 4 anglers at any single time. It also includes an ice box and wireless trolling motor. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water. No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter.

You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so. Capt. Justin runs trips together with his first mate, who’s there to help you with whatever you may need. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done.

There will be complimentary drinks aboard for your convenience during the trip, but feel free to bring your own drinks or snacks if you prefer. Children are welcome aboard so you’re good to get the young ones started early.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Bottoms Up Fishing Guides.

Captain Justin is Great this is the second trip with him and we had a great time. He knows where the fish are and has great equipment. His boats are perfect for the ocean and we definitley be back on this fishing trip in the future !! My son had fun as well he had a bird land on him while fishing and really got a kick out of it, we had a blast. Kurt
