Book your next trip with Next Chapter Charters and find out what you’re missing in Stock Island. With Captain Chris at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.
Species like Yellowtail Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Mutton Snapper, Black Grouper, Red Grouper, Wahoo, Mangrove Snapper, Cero Mackerel, Great Barracuda, and more could be biting if you come at the right time of year. On these trips, it’s common to troll using light or heavy tackle.
Capt. Chris welcomes anglers of all ages, including kids, 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. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
Your vessel for the day is a 39’ Invincible center console with room for 6 passengers. It has outriggers and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. You can’t go wrong when you bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you’d like to bring drinks, feel free. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
