Come aboard our one of a kind (27’) Ameracat fishing machine!
Meet Captain Bobby Horn at the helm with First Mate Alyssa by his side. This husband & wife team provides the local knowledge and experience necessary to get you on the fish!

So let’s talk about the trips & choices!

Offshore Deep Sea Fishing- Around here it’s all about bottom dropping for tasty reef fish! On these trip it’s common to catch, pull and fight for Red Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Hog Snapper,Lane Snapper, Cobia, Grey Grunt, Kingfish & Trigger Fish to name a few.
Remember The farther you go, the bigger they get!

Inshore Flats and River Fishing- This is a mixture of live and artificial bait techniques! On this Charter expect to cast, reel and catch some beautiful Trout along with some others while jigging along in the flats. After that look forward to some fishing in the mangroves for Snook and Redfish! This beautiful country has limitless opportunity for a fish pic you’ll never forget!

Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep! Plus, you will have your catch cleaned and bagged back at the dock.

Your day begins aboard a 27’ AMERACAT.  With a capacity for 6 passengers, it has a ride unlike any other and the layout that just screams fish!
Rods, reels, and all tackle are provided, along with a variety of live & artificial bait.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate and wife Alyssa, who’s there to help you fish and keep everyone safe on board. Tipping the Mate 10%–20% at the end of the day is customary to show your appreciation.

The charter boat is federally licensed & covers all of your fishing licenses as well.

Native Fishing Charter welcomes children aboard, so don’t be afraid to bring them too!

It is recommended to bring a sweater for the morning a good lunch & any beverages you would like besides water. Cooler, water, sunscreen & ice are all provided by Native
