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 trips you will be fishing on a 22' Sea Hunt bay boat that's powered by a 200 Suzuki outboard engine. The bay boat 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/or the Indian River Lagoon for snook, redfish, speckled trout, tarpon, sheepshead, jack crevalle and much more. 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). 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.

Fun in the sun
8 Hour Trip – Inshore / Nearshore on May 8, 20252 adults

Scott goes at captaining with an ease that comes from years of experience and fun. He was having as much fun fishing as we were. He’s got all the knowledge and an inventory of special spots. I especially enjoyed all of his stories with him and his dad fishing. My son peppered him with fishing questions and he answered them all. It seems he never gets tired, and at the end of the day he filleted a quite bountiful catch. We’ll be back

Great six-hour trip
6 Hour Trip – Inshore / Nearshore on July 12, 20231 adult2 children

Had a great time with Capt. Shane. It was the kids and my first time saltwater fishing. Cap Shane did a great job of getting us on fish. We caught a good amount of Lane Snapper keepers as well as a Spanish Mackerel to take home. Caught a number of other fish including flounder, King and several sharks, which was very exciting to the kids. If we are back that way will definitely book with Capt Shane again, possibly for a full-day offshore trip.

Captain Shane!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on July 15, 20222 adults

My husband and I booked a half day inshore trip and it was the best fishing experience we ever had! It seems like we had a fish on the hook every time we threw our bait in. Big ones, little ones and everything in between. Captain Shane provided us with so much patient guidance and support, we caught 14 different types of fish and more fish than we ever have with anyone else. Every step of the way, he went that extra mile to assure that we had a phenomenal and memorable charter. He was an absolute pleasure to be around, too. I'd go again tomorrow, if I could. He's earned his high rating and then some!

First of Many
6 Hour Trip – Inshore / Nearshore on September 27, 20233 adults

No complaints here! Captain Shane was very professional and we had a wonderful time! He put us on fish and we caught several different kinds. We even had a hammerhead shark try to take one of our catches while reeling it in. He also showed us several manatees while on the water. It was our first fishing charter trip, and I will absolutely have more thanks to Shane showing us a great time! 100% recommend this charter!

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.
