Lindy Lou Charters
+12Hop aboard the Lindy Lou and see what fishing on the gorgeous Choctawhatchee Bay has to offer!
Species like Redfish, Speckled Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Tarpon, Bluefish, and more are in the cards if you come at the right time of year. Captain Jason will let you know what he has been catching and what to expect.
Utilizing techniques from many different disciplines of fishing, Captain Jason will get you on the fish. Everything from trolling artificial baits to catching and using live bait to reel in a big one!
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children ages 6 and under must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
Your adventure begins aboard a 22’ Cape Horn bay boat that can carry up to 6 passengers. You will see many places not often seen along the beautiful beaches. You will find fish all over from around docks of mansions to grass flats in the marsh. The scenery is just another part of the adventure.
Top-of-the-line Penn rods and reels are provided as well as any hooks and terminal tackle you will need to catch the targeted species.
The charter boat license 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. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more about what fish have been biting or are in season.
Some essential items to bring with you are sunscreen, hat, sunglasses as well as any drinks or snacks you may want. Alcohol is allowed but glass is not permitted. A small cooler is acceptable as long as it is under 30qts.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Lindy Lou Charters!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on August 1, 2024
Some charters are polish and smoke...Jason is effective and fun. A real guy that was well prepared and knows his business, while at the same time is just as kind, personable and professional as you could ever ask for. And we slayed the fish today. While other boats were looking for bait, we were catching fish. Well done Jason. Well done. Thank You!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) on August 11, 2024
My family had the best time on this fishing trip. Captain Jason was really great! He was personable and knew where to go to catch fish, especially during the middle of the day!!! We did this trip for my husband’s 50th birthday gift and everyone enjoyed it. We all caught several fish, laughed a lot and made a ton of memories!

Your captain
Okaloosa Island, Florida, United States
Growing up in Atlanta, Georgia the focus for me was Largemouth Bass and Trout in the mountains. Once I moved to Florida in 2011 a whole new world opened up. Starting at the piers and wade-fishing the bay as much as possible I knew that fishing was my calling. Running charters allowed me to start dipping my toes into nearshore bottom fishing. While bringing a big Red Snapper to the boat is a special thing nothing beats a big Gator Trout. Those are by far my favorite fish to target. They were before I started guiding and they still are to this day.
