There's a fish with your name on it in Apalachicola, and Caught Up Charters will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Andrew can tell you all about the local fishery.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Black Drum, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Tripletail, Pompano, and who knows what else! For these species, you're likely to drift and bottom fish using light tackle. Feel free to bring home some of the fish you catch, so long as it's legal. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Your next meal doesn't get any fresher than that!

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Some essentials to bring are snacks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

You'll be fishing aboard a 23' Center console that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself. Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat. Show up ready for a good time!

Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Your trip with Caught Up Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

    Caught up Charters best Trip EVER

    Half Day - 4 hours (Morning) on July 16, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Sapp was the best guide I have ever had. His knowledge of the Appalachicola area made this the best trip my fishing partner and I have ever taken. 6 or 7 sharks(only kept 4 to be legal🙂), 1 flounder, 3 spotted trout, 42 white trout and 3 sail cats with probably 20 smaller trout released back.Thanks Captain Andrew, a truly outstanding job and see you next year!!!

    Ya’ll need to create a new website for Captain Andrew and his Pop and call it CatchingBooker.com That’s all we did this morning. Great conversations and jokes made a great day even better. Can’t recommend these guys highly enough. If you want to find a substitute for “arm day” book these boys. 197 fish in the box don’t lie.

    Half Day - 4 hours (Morning) on August 4, 2026 • 4 adults • 3 children

    Captain was good very experienced. We had lots of fun and never expected to catch over 100 fish. He was very detailed in certain spots gave us the rundown of the animals. We even got to see dolphins manatees alligators one of the best experiences I’ve had while vacation in Florida. I would highly recommend this captain to anybody.

    Captain Andrew is the GOAT

    Half Day - 4 hours (Morning) on September 3, 2025 • 4 adults

    Captain Andrew provides a fishing experience, not just a fishing trip. If you are looking to catch A LOT of fish, be treated by a Captain with good humor, a depth of historical knowledge and the best playlist on the bay, Captain Andrew is your man. Bring a large cooler as you will need it to get your plentiful catch back home. We caught trout, reds, sea bass and a black tip shark. We first fished with Captain Andrew 13 years ago and, over the ensuing years, he has always delivered success with a huge side of "good times."

Half Day - 4 hours (Morning) on May 7, 2026 • 3 adults

Our Boat trip was a bit choppy going out due to weather conditions. Weather did impact our trip but with our determined boat captain Andrew, we did catch fish. Unfortunately only 1 was a keeper. Again he tried multiple fishing spots and bait to find and catch fish. Thank you

Fishing was plentiful, even though Florida has some stricter conservation regulations. But we still fulfilled our day's catch up And I made a new friend in the process. Thanks again, Andrew.
