Make the most of your time in Goodland and go fishing with Fishing Freak Charters.

Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Spotted Seatrout, Peacock Bass, Cobia, Goliath Grouper, Kingfish, Permit, Pompano, Snapper, and more are in the cards, depending on the time of year. On these trips, you can expect to do live bait, light tackle, and lure fishing. The captain prides himself in not only trying his best to achieve a good day of fishing with possible dinner to take home but also in creating a great experience.

Fishing Freak Charters welcomes kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you can bring your own. And you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Your trip begins aboard a 25” sea hunt Bay boat that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is provided as well. The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don't leave home without sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to 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 FFC !

3/4 Day Trip – Saltwater

Great Fishing Trip with Captain Rene Martinez

VERIFIED
NEW

The expertise and experience of Captain Rene Martinez, provided for an excellent fishing trip. Everyone in our family of four got to catch their fair share of fish. Multiple species were caught including Pompano, Snappers, Bonnethead Sharks, Seatrout, Snook, Ladyfish, Jacks, Permit, Bluefish and Catfish. The action was non stop. The Captain took care of everyone with great attention to detail, making sure fish were unhooked properly, keepers were of legal length and rods were ready to be cast. At the end of the trip Captain Rene cleaned and filleted all the keepers for us to take back home. We got plenty for a great fish fry with family and friends. All our expectations were met and surpassed. We will be back to charter with Captain Rene Martinez in the future. This was a 6 hour morning fishing charter.

Rene was excellent to fish with! Very knowledgeable and worked to get us fish! Was successful in bringing in Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Snook. The weather didn't cooperate very well, but Rene navigated us around the storms and put us on fish. Highly recommend!
