Whatever Turns U On Fishing Charters is based in Grant, FL, and is here to offer you the fishing trip of your dreams, be it inshore, nearshore, offshore, or anything in between. Captain Shane Trottier is a lifelong fisherman who will be happy to do everything in his power to get you hooked up.

For inshore / nearshore and offshore trips you will be fishing on a 21’ Maverick Flats boat that’s powered by a 225 HP Yamaha outboard engine and has plenty of space for up to four prospective anglers. In addition to the standard safety and navigation gear, it has a livewell for bait, Garmin fish finder/GPS, and a wireless i-pilot trolling motor.

For the inshore trips you will be fishing the areas of the famous Sebastian Inlet and the Indian River Lagoon for snook, redfish, speckled trout, tarpon, sheepshead, jack crevalle, and goliath grouper. Offshore trips will be out of Sebastian Inlet going anywhere from 4 to 20 miles out into the ocean.

The price of any saltwater trip includes rods, reels, and terminal tackle, as well as the necessary saltwater fishing licenses (this includes Snook stamps). Live shrimp will be provided, choice baits such as (croakers, pigfish, pinfish, and threadfins) can be purchased at the bait shop if available for an additional charge or caught during your trip. Any fish you would like to keep will be cleaned after the trip for your convenience. We recommend you bring along a pair of polarized sunglasses and non-spray sunscreen and limit to bringing only 1 cooler for space on the boat.

Even as a straight-A student through school, Captain Shane could never figure out what he wanted to do for a career. He's had a passion for fishing his entire life and one day while taking some friends fishing he realized that he really enjoyed putting people on fish and seeing the excitement it brought to them. Captain Shane decided to get his captain's license and do a job that he loved. Pictures don't show everything or the time it takes to catch some of these big fish. As your captain and fishing guide, he'll do everything in his power to get you on that big one.
