Amodeo Bay has a fish with your name on it, so let Anglers Fishing Charters help you catch it!

Depending on the season, you might hook into Pink Snapper, Kingfish, John Dory, and anything else that bites. For these species, you're likely to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Anglers Fishing Charters run a 24' KwikKraft aluminum fishing boat that holds up to 5 passengers. It has all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is caught on your way out to fish.

Don't leave home without sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, weather appropriate clothing such as jackets and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, feel free. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with Anglers Fishing Charters!

Amazing Amdeo Trip

Was an amazing time out on the water with skipper Dawson. Very light hearted warming guy to go fishing with. Very knowledgable on the area. If you're ever up this way and want to book a smaller charter group this is the place to go to. Thanks all who were involved with getting myself and my dad out on the water.

We booked our family of 5 on this fishing trip. Dawson took our 7 year old under his wing and he caught the most fish out of all of us. We all had a great afternoon and would highly recommend this particular trip.

Jen runs trips out of Amodeo Bay aboard a 24' KwikKraft along with our skipper Dawson. These waters are known for Snapper and Kingfish and he will show you how to catch them. With extensive knowledge of the area, our skipper has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Captain Dawson is a expert fisherman. He knows very well his fishing spot. I just want to suggest to mention in the website that we have to bring our chilling bin to keep and bring back home our fishes.

    Outstanding trip. Plenty of fish, including a couple of big ones. The captain (Dawson) new his stuff and put us right one the spot. He also took his time helping a 10 year old first-time fisherman to catch a bunch of snapper. there were 4 in our party and we all had a great time.

    The captain was very kind, humorous, patient, very good service, and very experienced, we harvested a lot of fish, although the king fish is not big enough, but at last we have seen it, so thank the captain for all the happy and enjoy!

    Skipper Dawson was excellent, besides all the fish we caught, plenty of laughs and banter onboard. Skipper Dawson was excellent with my daughter being her first time on a charter. Will definitely be back for more.
