Depending on conditions, you might hook into Bonefish, Permit, Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout, and plenty more. On the day of your trip you're likely to spin using light tackle. Capt. Stephan also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Don't forget to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Half Day Trip (AM) on March 3, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptian Stephan made our time out on the water one we won’t forget! He knew all the places to look for what we were wanting to catch and even with the weather being not in our favor he truly made the most of it and guided my husband to hook some great fish!
Daniel Lilly5.0VerifiedFun day!
Half Day Trip (AM) on April 15, 2026 • 2 adultsCaught some snook and speckled trout, saw a bunch of redfish. Captain Stephen was great at getting on us fish. Additionally, saw a bunch of manatees, turtles, sharks, and big stingrays. A fun day on the water for me and my son.

A great day on the water!
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 24, 2025 • 2 adultsWe had the best time on the water with Stephen! He knew exactly where to take us and made the whole experience unforgettable. We caught a huge variety of fish— snook, barracuda, jack, trout, snapper and even catfish. On top of that we saw sharks and stingrays up close which made the day even more exiting. He was super knowledgeable, patient, and made sure we were having fun. We’ll definitely be booking again next time we’re in town!
Jared Mcvey5.0VerifiedGreat time!
Half Day Trip (AM) on September 26, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 childMy son and I had a blast. Stephan was an excellent captain. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient (dealing with the barage of questions from myself and my 9 year old and not just the elusive fish). He had us fish on nonstop catching 5-6 different species on only a half day trip. I would highly recommend Stephan to anyone to show them a great time!!!!!
Collin HaywardRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat day on the water!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 29, 2025 • 2 adultsStephan was very easy to deal with. He messaged promptly as soon as I booked and was very responsive in his communication. Out on the water he expertly navigated around an inbound rainstorm, put us on snapper, and even gave us some lessons on saltwater fly fishing. Would definitely repeat!
Dylan ConradRepeat angler5.0Full day with Captain Stephen
Full Day Trip on July 13, 2025Awesome day on the water with captain Stephen! It was definitely an unforgettable experience. If you get the chance book with him for an awesome trip on the flats! My buddy and I will definitely be back to chase some more fish with him!
