Excited to go fishing in Venice? Reel Family Charters is here to make it happen!

Species like Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Red Grouper, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Amberjack, Tripletail, Hogfish, Cobia, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the season. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

If you're traveling with the family, you 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. Feel free to bring your own snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Your trip begins aboard a 30' SeaHunter center console with room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, 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! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Reel Family Charters!

6 Hour Trip – Offshore

Great time was had by all!

We had a great time and caught some really good fish. Captain Spencer went out of his way to try to accommodate us and actually spent much more time with us than our 6-hour trip. Would highly recommend!
