Spend the day with Boneafide Charters and find out what the fishing in Big Pine Key is all about! With Captain Zach at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.
These waters are known for Black Grouper, Bonefish, Cero Mackerel, Permit, Great Barracuda, Mangrove Snapper, Red Grouper, Bluefish, Jack Crevalle, Cobia, Lane Snapper, Goliath Grouper, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few! During the trip you might be spinning, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea to keep their stamina going!
You'll be welcome aboard a 25' Ranger bay boat with space for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
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.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, time to hit the water with Boneafide Charters!
