If you're ready to enjoy fishing in Indian Shores, look no further than Captain Gills. With Captain Gillean at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

These waters are home to Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Gag Grouper, and more, depending on the season. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, drifting, jigging, 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! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You're welcome to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

Your vessel for the day is a 17' Carolina Skiff with capacity for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures. Live bait is included, 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, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

With my charters, I strive to not only catch big fish and lots of them but to also show the beautiful and rich nature my hometown has to offer. I want to make a unique and nature-filled experience for my clients to remember and give them the Florida experience that I've had since I was a kid.
