Depending on the season, you might hook into Black Drum, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Snook, Gag Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Pompano, and plenty more.

On the day of your trip you're likely to drift using light tackle

BS Fishing Charters welcomes kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Don't forget to bring snacks to keep up those energy levels!

Your trip begins aboard a 22’ Bay boat with space for 1 to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.

Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if 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! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Some essentials to bring are a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

We booked a half day scalloping trip with Captain Brody.
4-6 hour scalloping trip on August 22, 20266 adults

Our scalloping trip was cut short, murky water and light rain. Captain Brody offered to take us to the springs, which we joyfully accepted. Some springs you can only get to via watercraft. The weather got worse but we had a great experience.

AMAZING TRIP
Half day inshore fishing trip on August 9, 20262 adults

My wife and I had an amazing time fishing. The captain put us on the fish right away. Super fun fishing those redfish. I am looking forward to come back and fish in the winter time. The captain went above and beyond to put us on fish, to make my wife comfortable who was fishing for the first time, and to give us the best experience out on the water.
