Salty Dog Charters
Salty Dog Charters is a federally permitted fishing charter company – this means that they can legally take you out beyond 9 miles offshore to fish for larger keeper fish. The team offers fun and action-packed fishing adventures out of Johns Pass in Treasure Island, Florida. This is a family-owned company, operated by Captain Brandon Vaughan. He is a young and energetic angler, who has nurtured his talents in the local waters.
Join the captain aboard the “Reel Crazy,” a 24’ Cape Horn center console. It is a stable and dependable boat, touted as “unsinkable” by the manufacturer. Its new twin turbo-charged 200 HP Mercury Verado outboards will power you to the best spots to get the hot bite. Top of the line electronics on board not only give the captain a distinct advantage when searching for fish, but also save a lot of time.
Capt. Brandon will take you fishing the waters within 1 mile of the shore and up to 50 miles out. You’ll be able to test yourself in a variety of techniques, fishing the artificial reef systems, natural hard bottom, and ledges. Your potential catch of the day will include King Mackerel, Red Grouper, Hogfish, Gag Grouper, Cobia, Amberjack, and many more, including Snapper, Tuna, Mahi-Mahi, and Barracuda.
The trips are all-inclusive, you will only need to bring your own food and drinks. Whether you’re after some great table fare, want to just test the waters, or fight with big fish – Capt. Brandon will accommodate your every need and bring you back with a camera full of bragging photos.
Salty Dog Charters live by and love what they do. And it shows! Join them on board and they will bring smiles to your faces and maybe even a laugh or two. “Get your Salty Dog on!”
