Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Money well spent!
1/2 Night Trip (Inshore) on June 7, 20253 adults

Captain Marcos was a great guy to have as a guide through all the flats and channels. Very calm and cool guy. Super observant of his surroundings and seems to have a vast knowledge of the water and fishing. He’s made a life out of being on a boat and knows where the fish are. He tirelessly worked whether we were trolling, drifting, or motoring from spot to spot. He gave us multiple opportunities at different species and different live bate/lures. Can’t go wrong with Captain Marcos!
