Reel Deal Fishin'
If you’re ready to enjoy fishing in Central Florida, we’ve got you covered with Reel Deal Fishin' Charters.
Species like Black Drum, Flounder, Blacktip Shark, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, Spanish Mackerel, Speckled Trout, Weakfish, and more can be found in these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year. On the day of your trip you’re likely to use light tackle.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children 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 everyone stays happy and energized!
You’ll step aboard a 22’ Sundance skiff that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Chad will provide rods and reels for you, along with live bait.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
It’s always wise to bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed.
If there’s more you’d like to know about fishing with Reel Deal Fishin' Charters, just send Capt. Chad a message down below. Any ne that requires 7 plus must message first so i may get with another captain….

The guide went above and beyond
I really appreciated the guide as I could tell he wanted us to have a good experience. I felt that he really went above and beyond to make it nice for us but also kept the environment chill and relaxing. We forgot a cooler to take our fish but he cleaned the fish and put them in a cooler so we could go straight to a restaurant to have them cooked. It was for my boyfriend’s birthday so o was grateful that it turned out to be a nice experience!

INSHORE FISHING AM 4 HR
Best part of our vacation!
We were in Orlando for a basketball tournament and ended up with a lot more free time than expected. We booked last minute and captain Chad truly made our fishing a great one for the entire family including two teenagers. We went shark fishing for several hours and then ended the morning with some onshore fishing. The kids said the shark fishing was some of the best fishing they’ve ever done. Book with Captain Chad - you won’t be disappointed.

Great charter, great captain, a great day on the water for my kids and I!! Highly Recommended!
We were originally planning to do a Head Boat trip, for the day we were in Daytona Beach, but it sold out before we could book it. I'm SO glad it sold out, as that's when I found Captain Chad's Reel Deal Charter service, and it was wonderful! Myself, my younger daughter, and my older daughter's boyfriend booked a Thursday morning inlet charter that wasn't very much more than we would have paid for the head boat trip for the 3 of us (and it was our own private charter, instead of sharing with 30 other people). Despite a minor issue with the initial meeting point (two very similar addresses in the same area), we were quickly on our way that morning, and Captain Chad was great. He immediately handed his phone to my 14 year old daughter while leaving the dock, and told her to put on whatever music she wanted from his Spotify account on the boat speakers, which she loved! We came to a spot by the bridge, and immediately started catching Jacks right away, which were fun! Whenever we had our bait picked, Captain Chad was right there with new bait to put on the hook. He was always on point with helping land and unhook the fish too for my daughter. We moved to a couple of different spots and had good luck in some and slow luck in others, but he didn't stay at a slow spot for long, understanding that it's not fun for the kids if they aren't catching anything for long periods. On our 4 hour trip, we probably caught about 45+ fish between the three of us (with my 14 year old daughter catching the most, which she also enjoyed). We caught Jacks, Sheepshead, Bluefish, Catfish and even 2 small Sting Rays. We also saw dolphins playing around us multiple times as well as Sea Turtles, which made my daughter extra happy. Even though our charter officially ended at 11am, we stayed out an extra 30 minutes, as Captain Chad wanted to make sure we all got "one more" in the boat before going in. And the whole time, Chad was great to talk to. Wonderful conversation, friendly and welcoming. And, as an extra bonus, his wife owns a local bakery (Treats & Sweets Cakery in South Daytona), so he gifted us a free 6 pack of cupcakes from her bakery, as a thank you for going on his charter! Such a wonderful gesture, as he definitely understands how to make his customers feel welcomed and appreciated! We picked those up after the charter on our way back to the hotel, and they were outstanding! Make sure you stop in when you are in the area, and you won’t be disappointed there either!! Overall, we had an amazing time, and we definitely will do another charter with him when we are back in the area! Highly recommended!
