Come experience an enjoyable day on the water with Lyons Charters.
With Captain Mark at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Sea trout, White Grunts, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Gag Grouper, Hogfish, Jack Crevalle, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Ladyfish, Little Tunny (False Albacore), Pompano, Black Seabass, Scup (Porgy), Sharks, and more –  For these species, you’re likely to troll, cast or bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.  Captain Mark will provide the appropriate equipment and friendly instruction to get you into the action.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard. USCG does not require children to wear a lifevest while underway on a 26’ boat, of course one will be provided if requested. Captain Mark is always happy to encourage kids to learn to fish.

Feel free to bring a small cooler for all your favorite snacks and drinks. Hats, sunglasses and sunscreen are also recommended.

You’ll find yourself aboard a 26’ Wellcraft center console with space for 4 passengers. There’s a porta-potty on board for your convenience. Captain Mark will provide rods and reels, lures, and bait appropriate to the target species..

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. You can’t go wrong when you bring sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Book with us and experience an enjoyable day on the water!

3 Hour Trip – Inshore Flats

Awesome trip with Capn Mark

VERIFIED

Capn Mark put us on a nice drift for a morning catch of speckled trout. Great with kids and the boat had plenty of space for this family of 4. Gear and bait worked perfectly and he was well prepared for any snags. Thanks again Capn Mark.

Captain Mark is a treat to fish with, always a great time on the water with him. From catching fish, to talking old stories about life. Can’t wait to catch up and hit the water again sometime soon.
