These waters are known for Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Spotted Seatrout, Mangrove Snapper, Bonnethead Shark, Goliath Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia, Permit, and more – with any luck, they'll make your reel scream. You can expect to do some spinning, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. Don't leave home without sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

It was a owerall good trip. I had hoped for more big fish, when I wrote in my comment when booking, that I wanted fish like Trevalle and similar and active fishing and fish that fought a lot. I wish they had written beforehand that it wasn't exactly the trip I had booked, apparently. Overall, a nice trip where we caught snapper and snooky, but had hoped for something bigger and more fun wild fish. Very nice capt. who helped a lot and good at his job. We were out 3 hours. It’s started raining, thunder and lightning but the capt. saw it and got us back in time☺️
Our fishing club books with local charters once a month. This one is now my new favorite. They were very responsive to my inquiries prior to our trip date and provided loads of info up front for me to give to my group. We caught our limit of red fish, snook, spanish mackerel, lots of mangrove snapper (YUM!), jack crevalle, a barracuda and had a tarpon on the line jumping twice! Everyone in our group caught multiple fish. We had a great time and Captain Jim was wonderful to us. We sincerely could not have asked for a better day!
what a trip! Had a great time in the water , caught mangrove snapper, Redfish,snook ,jack crevalle. Captain Jim has plenty of experience and did a great job putting us on some fish. Cross'em off charter is highly recommended can't wait to book my next trip.
Everyone at CROSS EM’ OFF CHARTERS was professional and friendly from start to finish. Captain Tyler worked hard and went the extra mile. He kept us busy reeling fish in all day long...too many to count. He was great with my whole family and made some fantastic memories for my son 15th birthday. This is a top-notch and smoothy run operation. Thanks for an epic birthday trip!
Gabe - thanks for the thoughtful review of your experience with Capt. Tyler! Glad the kingfish wanted to cooperate and the bite was on!!
Fun morning on the water with Capt Jim. I took 5 young adults in their 20s with limited fishing experience and everyone had a blast. Jim has all the gear and does all the dirty work but allows you to cast, fish and reel them in. He knows the best spots and bait--everyone caught multiple fish with a variety of types of fish. Would highly recommend as a way to get out on the water and enjoy a fun activity together.
Daniel - thanks for fishing with us! Capt Jim does his best juggling acts with 6 person groups and we appreciate the great feedback. Hope to see you again the next time they’re in town.
