Owned and operated by Captain Miles Altman since 1972!

Fishing around here will often see you targeting Blacktip Shark, Black Drum, Kingfish, Jack Crevalle, Speckled Trout, Bonnethead Shark, Flounder, Tarpon, Bluefish, Bull Shark, Redfish, Cobia, and more, depending on the season. For these species, you're likely to spin using light tackle. You get to keep some of the catch, ask the captain for details.

You'll be fishing aboard a 24' Bay boat with a capacity for 4 passengers. Your captain will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself. Kids are welcome aboard!

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It's always wise to bring snacks, bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Bay Runner Sportfishing is just a click away.
