If you’re ready to love fishing in Hollywood, we’ve got you covered with Robert Atkinson. Your guide for the day is Captain Robert, which means you’ll tap into years of local experience.
You’re likely to go after Yellowtail Amberjack, Yellowfish, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Tarpon, Swordfish, Spanish Mackerel, Yellowtail Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Red Snapper, and more if you come at the right time of year. On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Robert also offers kite fishing. For the more adventurous among you, there’s drift, gigging, spinning, and bowfishing if you bring your own equipment.
Trips with Robert are kid-friendly, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites or he will supply them.
Your boat for the day is a 38’ Blackfin sportfishing vessel with space for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience, air conditioning, a bed, and a kitchen.
Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food, drinks, and some light snacks available on board for a fee.
