There's a fish with your name on it in Avon and Easy Going Charters will help you catch it! With Captain Frank at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Species like Sheepshead, Weakfish, Speckled Trout, Bluefish, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, and more can be found in these waters if you come at the right time of year.

During the trip, you might be light tackle fishing, popping, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Frank can also take you Flounder gigging.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

You'll be fishing aboard a 23' Carolina Skiff that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Amazing Family Fishing Trip!!!!
4 Hour Casting Trip (AM) on September 11, 20265 adults1 child

This charter was the highlight of our whole vacation! Captain Frank was so great! We enjoyed our time talking with him as much as the actual catching of fish… and catch we did!!!! My husband caught a 44in red drum, my 11 yo daughter caught the same, our 14yo son caught 2 43in red drum and the rest of us caught bluefish and red drum also. It was amazing!!! Very family friendly fun for our family of six!!! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Captain Frank for your fishing trip.

Absouletly amazing trip!
4 Hour Casting Trip (AM) on June 25, 20262 adults

The captain was awesome and very knowledgeable of the water and where the fish were. Each spot we went to we were on the fish within minuntes. He will put you on the fish, but its still up to you to get them on the boat. We landed some bluefish, houndfish, sheepshead, and sea trout but released it due to off season regulations. We even had some drums in sight but couldn’t get them. I recomemend booking with him if you’re in the area- you wont regret it. Plus we even got to see a pod of about 50 dophins with their babies.

4 Hour Trip – Casting (PM) on August 6, 20263 adults1 child

Captain Frank and his mate Jr. were awesome! Caught our limit of blue fish. Captain Frank made our family feel very safe. Didnt catch any red drum but got some bites for sure, and our son got to catch a monster of a blue fish. From the start of our trip, til the end, captain Frank was attentive and helpful. The music and atmosphere was great, and we loved when he’d sing along. His energy was infectious. So worth the trip! Thank you for an amazing time!
