Hoping to go fishing in Port Canaveral? That’s what Fish Junkies Fishing Charters is here for! Your guide for the day is Captain Michael, which means you’ll tap into years of knowledge and experience.

Around here it’s common to catch Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Gag Grouper, Amberjack, Kingfish, Bonito, Tilefish, Vermilion Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, and more with any luck. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

You’ll find yourself aboard a 21’ Dusky center console with a capacity for 3 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain. Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Fish Junkies Fishing Charters!

I started fishing for Bass when I was 4 years old with my grandpa and have been hooked on fishing ever since then. I started saltwater fishing when I was 15 years old. Getting that taste of saltwater fish has me hooked and the fight that these fish give I love it! I was born in raised in Orlando Fl, but have. been fishing Canaveral for over 20 years!
