Feel free to bring home any fish you catch, assuming they're legal to keep. Mate Lexi can even clean your catch for you. Bring a cooler ready in the car!
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks – luckily, Capt. Brady will have some on board!
Your trip begins aboard a 46' Commercial that can carry up to 35 passengers. It comes with and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
Capt. Brady will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate, who's there to help you fish and keep everyone safe on board. A 20%-30% tip at the end of the day is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It's never a bad idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray).

Darius Weaver5.0VerifiedFrom a Slow Start to an Incredible Day of Striper Fishing!
Weekend Trip - 1:00 PM on October 10, 2026 • 15 adults • 7 childrenWhat a fantastic day on the water with Fools Gold Charters! The fishing started off a little slow, but Captain Brady knew exactly what he was doing and worked hard to put us on the fish. By the end of the trip, we had 10 keepers come over the rails, along with two impressive 34” and 36” striped bass! Lexi was absolutely fantastic! She was attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready to lend a hand, whether it was helping someone get hooked up or answering questions along the way. She really helped make the experience enjoyable for everyone on board. The boat was extremely clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. You can tell Captain Brady and Lexi take pride in what they do. Everyone had an amazing time, and the entire experience was well worth it! If you’re looking for a great fishing charter with a hardworking captain and an outstanding mate, I highly recommend Fools Gold Charters! We’ll definitely be booking with them again for future trips!
Vinicius Ribeiro5.0VerifiedAmazing Fathers Day Fishing
Special 6 hours trip for Vinicius Ribeiro on June 21, 2026 • 7 adultsWe had an amazing Father’s Day fishing trip and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The captain and crew were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional from start to finish. They made everyone in our group feel comfortable and at home the entire day. The boat was spotless, spacious, and very well maintained, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the trip. They went above and beyond by keeping the boat stocked with a great selection of beer, drinks, and snacks for both the adults and kids, which was a really nice touch. Most importantly, they made the day fun and memorable for the whole family. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for a great day on the water, I highly recommend booking with them. It was the perfect Father’s Day outing, and we’ll definitely be back!

Weekday Trip on June 5, 2026 • 15 adultsI’ve been on a couple charters and this was by far the best experience. Have been on previous charters and never touched a rod. Had 15 guys and we caught our limit. Everyone had a great time.

Isaiah Jones5.0VerifiedTop-Notch Fishing Trip with Fool’s Gold Charters
Weekend Trip - 1:00 PM on July 12, 2025 • 10 adultsHad an incredible day on the water with Fool’s Gold Charters! I went out with friends and family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The captain and crew were professional, friendly, and clearly knew the best spots—we caught rockfish, spot, and croakers throughout the trip. The boat was clean and well-prepared, and the atmosphere was relaxed but exciting. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just looking for a fun day with loved ones, this trip delivers. Highly recommend and definitely planning to come back again!
Alicia Dinwiddie5.0VerifiedCaught our limit in 45 minutes!
Weekday Trip - 1:00 PM on May 17, 2025 • 8 adultsWe had an amazing trip with Brady and crew. The boat was spacious, clean and comfortable! We had about a 40 minute ride to our first spot and started reeling in fish after fish. Almost all were close to the max length! The spot was so hot, we left it intentionally to not over harvest. We fished a few more spots and began catch and release. A few of these were 26”+! It was a great day with wonderful memories made. We will 100% book Fools Gold Charters again!
Shantelle Smith3.7VerifiedNice boat.
