Murco Charters is excited to meet and create memories with you and your family. Captain Cade is the owner and operator of Murco charters. Captain Cade is a licensed 100-ton captain who has been fishing these waters since he can remember. Cade, in addition to inshore fishing has fished the Blue Marlin Tournament circuit with several top 3 placements. Captain Cade has multiple years of inshore/nearshore fishing experience and will do everything he can to put you on the fish.

Capt. Cade will take you out on his custom 26' Gause Built center console. The boat has much more room in it than a typical bay boat and has a flat deck which is safer for the angler. Cade’s boat has high sides that will make you feel safe and comfortable. While the boat is large for a bay boat, the way that it is built still allows Capt. Cade to fish in less than a foot of water when needed. Capt. Cade also has bean bags to sit on in the ride out and in to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. The boat is also equipped with a tower so that Capt. Cade can see the fish we are after. This Boat definitely Gives Murco charters an edge on the competition.

The boat is fully equipped with top of the line Garmin electronics such as fish finders and GPS. We also provide all safety equipment such as life jackets and Children's life jackets. We also have an EPIRB and VHF radio to ensure safety. We use all Shimano gear and custom rods on charters to ensure a quality experience.

Capt. Cade’s goal is to make sure that your charter party has a safe and memorable experience on the water. At Murco Charters we understand the sacrifices that are made to be able come on a fishing trip. That being said Capt. Cade wants to catch fish just as bad as you do. Captain Cade’s day starts way before your charters starts as he catches his own live bait each morning to make sure it is of the highest quality.

The species targeted are Speckled Trout, Redfish, Mackerel, Cobia, Red/Mangrove Snapper, and Tripletail.

White Trout Extravaganza

VERIFIED

With six on the boat, we had a great, personalized time with Captain Cade, catching fish after fish and talking about life. We didn’t spend much time traveling, so we had lines in the water for more than 90 minutes on our 2-hour trip. Caught 27 good sized fish that we took to a local establishment to prepare for our afternoon dinner. Captain Cade was knowledgeable, competent, attentive, and interested in our family dynamics. As part of a trip to celebrate my aging parents’ anniversary, we all had a delightful time.

Captain Cade provided an excellent opportunity that my entire family was able to enjoy. He was attentive and had us hooked up to fish within a few minutes. After nearly filling our boat limits we moved to another spot and had us hooked up to some atlantic sharpnose sharks on the first cast. Once we got back Captin Cade unloaded for us and cleaned all the fish and bagged it for us. I highly recommend this guide for anyone looking for a good time on the water.

3 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore PM

Wonderful experience!

VERIFIED

Captain Cade was an amazing captain. As soon as we went up to him he was ready to get out of the marina. He was cut right to the chase, utilizing the time we had with him well. He knew were fish were, and were catching them left and right. When we got back, he also jumped right into filleting the fish for us so we can just cook it right up. I strongly recommend him if your looking to get out on the water and catch fish.

Fish On!

VERIFIED

Capt Cade didn’t waste any time putting us on the fish. Fish were being reeled in before everyone had a pole in the water. Although the fish were still biting, our kids needed a change of scenery and he was happy to show us around the backwaters. We saw sunken boats, commercial fishing and even so dolphins! Hands down would recommend Cade and Murco Charters for your adventure!

Great Time with Granddaughter

VERIFIED

Captain Cade provided a great fishing trip for me to take my 13 year old granddaughter out for her first fishing experience in the Gulf of Mexico. All I can say about Captain Cade, is that he is a first class individual with the patience of a saint. He never flinched once after the many times the fish broke our lines and he had to replace the hooks or the bait. As a retired HS Principal, I've come to know and respect quality individuals, and Captain Cade is just that. In would highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Cade.
