There’s a fish with your name on it and Red White & Reel will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Josh knows these waters like the back of his hand.

These waters are known for Snook, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, and more – with any luck, you’ll hook into a few! For these species, you’ll be using light tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available. Snacks are also a good idea, so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Captain Josh will bring you aboard a 22’ Center console Pathfinder, with room for 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures and live bait.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

The coolers will be iced down with water, you are welcome to bring any other beverages.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Red White & Reel!
