Amberjack, Red Snapper, Hamour Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Bull Shark, and more inhabit these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year.

On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Capt. James can also take you Flounder gigging.

Capt. James is happy to have kids aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! 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 so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

You'll be welcome aboard a 25' Center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

You can't go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with Reel Addiction 2 charters! Up to 6 people for the price of the trip!

Loved the experience!!
4hr trip on June 25, 20263 adults

Captain Jim did an excellent job, we had some very rough weather come in as we began the day. He navigated around it. We only had some sprinkles of rain. Jim and Abby have excellent personalities and we're very accommodating to my back and leg issues. They immediately seated me and had me fishing. We all had a great experience and fun time. They had great equipment and bait.They got us to where the fish were biting. We caught around 45 fish (22 keepers by law) Can't wait to book with them again!! Thank you for a wonderful experience, we will not forget it!!

Captain's Choice on July 10, 20266 adults

Captain James made sure we had an amazing time. We got on the fish pretty quickly and everyone in our group got some great action. The pinnacle of the trip was catching “Tom” the red snapper which was a record for the boat at 34 inches who was got us more than enougu filets for our group of guys. The trip was an absolute blast and I’d highly recommend anyone who want a good time to go out on this charter!

Time well spent
Captain's Choice on June 24, 20265 adults1 child

We had a great time. Caught fish and enjoyed everything about the day. Captain and first mate worked hard to get on the fish and make the time enjoyable for all. Will definitely use them again when we want to fish again when in town. I would suggest to anyone that asks to iuse Reel Addiction 2 as their guide. Captain James was very entertaining and good at what he does. Again enjoyed the trip.

CAUGHT A SHARK!!
4hr bay trip evenings on June 21, 20263 adults2 children

I have been wanting to do this for years! We had the best time of our lives. Caught so many different kinds of fish. Captain Jim, and his deck hand we're on top of things. When I booked the trip, I didn't realize I booked it on Father's Day. In the description, we stated that I wanted to catch a shark and Captain Jim made it happen. I can check it off. My bucket list! His deck hand on the boat made sure we had bait on our hooks at all time. I highly recommend booking with them you will not regret it!

Great Fishing Trip!
5hr morning trip on May 28, 20264 adults1 child

Between 5 guys caught they brought home 12 Red Snapper. first time fishing for 3 of the guys so it was so much fun! good for people who have never fished before. appreciated Captains call at 5am to call off fishing due to a big storm coming in and rescheduled for another day and great that the weather was good when they fished. i know one of the guys caught a hammerhead shark most likely. it was so strong and broke the line. it was a great experience for all of our crew!!
