Steinhatchee has a fish with your name on it, so let LFG fishing charters help you catch it!
These waters are known for Black Sea Bass, Redfish, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Scallop, Cobia, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few!
On these trips, you can expect to cast a popping cork using light tackle.
Children are welcome, so feel free to make a family day out of it! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 22' Bay boat with space for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the other essentials. Rods and reels are covered by the charter, so ask the captain about bringing your own . Be sure to ask about bait and lures as well. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. just reach out to learn more, especially if you have any dietary needs.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with LFG fishing charters!

Half Day Scalloping (AM) 5 ppl
Very welcoming captain, we caught the bag limit for the two of us who went in about 3 hours. We plan to go back on his charter next season, and maybe some fishing charters in between.

Fishing Am trip
We are not novices . We have chartered boats for Fishing in all parts of the world and all kinds of water and weather. this trip was so much fun that we didnt want it to end and our captain allowed us to “ extend” our trip since he had availability . the boat and equipment are new. captain chad impressed me right off by arriving earlier than me , and introducing himself with a firm handshake and warm smile. then it was off to fish . it was our first time in steinhatchee but will definitely not be our last !! he led us into the water , and we cast our rods. all four of us caught fish within minutes of each other and the adventure began !!! we caught all kinds of fish from rock bass ( yum yum) to a 55 pound shark ( that was a surprise ! ) . The entire trip was a blast. this was a first for one of our guests and Captain Chad was so patient and helpful with her , soon , she was catching more fish than the rest of us !!! capt chad has 7 children of his own , which leads me to believe he would be excellent for newbies and children as well . at the end of our trip , he cleaned and filleted our catch . we are already planning our next trip and charter ! A plus plus ! Capt chad made this more than a fishing trip . he truly enabled us to enjoy a fantastic and fun experience and capture memories forever.

Our family went out for a full day fishing and scalloping charter and it was better than we dreamed! Captain Chad was on time and prepared, very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and what spots to catch fish and scallop. The boat was super comfortable and a smooth ride. We had a great time! I would highly recommend LFG charters to any group looking for a fun and enjoyable day on the water. Can’t wait to try their pontoon boat for our next trip!! Rachel Hollenbach and family
