What's on your bucket list while visiting SWFL? Let us help you cross it off! With Captain Eddie at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Mangrove Snapper, Speckled Trout, Tripletail, Pompano, and whatever else is biting.

We'll be using spinning tackle and live baits for most of the season. Sometimes chunk baiting for bigger trophy fish may also be an option! If you'd like to throw artificial baits we can make that happen - just practice your casting skills before hopping on board!

You'll be fishing aboard a 24' Carolina Skiff bay boat with space for 5 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Eddie has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included and will be caught/in the live well before you step aboard.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Some essentials to bring are a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Waters are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your trip with Cross Em' Off Charters is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

    On the fish all the trip

    Half Day Trip – Inshore Back Bay on March 21, 2026 • 2 adults

    Capt Eddy was a great fisherman but also a great people person. He assessed our skill levels and assisted where needed. Loved fishing with him. We caught 7 species and had a good trip doing it. Would go with him again and again.
