Niceville has a fish with your name on it, so let Findiction Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Michael can tell you all about them. Whether its a full day adventure filling the freezer or a half day with the family, they have a trip for everyone.

The fish in these waters include King Mackerel (Kingfish), Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Sailfish, Lane Snapper, Scamp Grouper, Blackfin Tuna, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Wahoo, and more with any luck. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Your excursion begins aboard a 35' Contender center console with space for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself. The boat is also federally permitted to fish the entire Gulf instead of being restricted to state waters.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
