Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites!
Capt. Gregory operates an 18’ Skiff that holds up to 3 passengers. It comes with all the essentials.
Capt. Gregory has rods and reels for you, 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 some fishing! 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 always wise to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Your trip with Reel Drag Fishing Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

It was a “reel drag”
4 hr inshore on March 18, 2025
Greg was awesome. He made my two kids really enjoy the trip. Knew where to go to put us on some fish. We consistently caught fish the whole 4 hours we were out there. Boat and equipment was top notch. Definitely getting ahold of him in a month or two when we need another day on the water.
