If you plan on fishing in Port Richey, look no further than Time on the Water Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Samuel can tell you all about them.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Redfish, Snook, and who knows what else! On the day of your trip you're likely to troll using light tackle.

Families making a day of it 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. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to keep their stamina going!

Your excursion begins aboard a 18' Polar Skiff flats boat with capacity for 3 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures.

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Some essentials to bring are a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Water will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
