Depending on conditions, you might hook into Black Drum, Pompano, Cobia, Amberjack, Bonito, Bluefish, Gag Grouper, Sheepshead, Mahi Mahi, Kingfish, Jack Crevalle, Redfish, and who knows what else! Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, jigging, or bottom fishing.
Your vessel for the day is a 20' Center console that holds up to 4 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. James will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. Some essentials to bring are snacks, sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Captain James was great. Seemingly all the boats in the water were having trouble finding fish and captain James put us on them. My son got seasick and he immediately took us to calmer waters while still keeping us fishing. We all had a great time and I would highly recommend booking a trip with Weekend Hooker Charters and Captain James!
Thank you for taking a trip with us! Looking forward to future fishing trips!
