If fishing in King George is on your bucket list, look no further than Beach Bum Charters. With Captain Wyatt at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Striped Bass, Catfish, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, and anything else that bites. On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that's dinner!

Capt. Wyatt operates a 27' May-Craft that holds up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself. There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip!

Trips with Beach Bum Charters are child-friendly, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. It's always wise to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, a hat, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.
