Book your next trip with Hooked on Hardy Guide Services and find out what you’re missing in Lakeland. With Captain Brad at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Species like Ladyfish, Flounder, Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Bonnethead Shark, Snook, Spanish Mackerel, Spotted Seatrout, and more are in the cards, depending on the time of year. You’ll target your catch by spinning, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

Your boat for the day is a 19’ Glasstream center console with space for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with 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. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain. It’s recommended to bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Hooked on Hardy Guide Services.
