Running angling trips out of Cortez, Reel Fun Charter provides a memorable, quality experience whether you are new to fishing or a seasoned fisherman.

Come aboard with Captain Terry, who knows the best spots to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like popping and spinning based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4 to 6-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Snapper, Redfish, Snook, Spotted Seatrout, Tripletail, Jack Crevalle, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

You’ll be fishing from a 23’ Sea Pro boat with enough room for up to 4 anglers at any time. All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price, and your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. You can keep anything you catch as long as it’s legal to do so. Live bait is included when available, so check with the captain before the trip.

Want to bring the rest of the family along for the ride? Captain Terry is patient with kids and helps them with casting the line. He loves to see the smiles when a fish bites, so bring the kids fishing to create fun memories.
