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.

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.

Snook Bite Is Hott
Snook Bite Is Hott

The snook bite at Sebastian Inlet has picked up pretty good this week along with some big bull redfish. We have some rough seas building up this weekend but hopefully next week will be calm enough to rip a lip.

Inshore Redfish Rodeo
Inshore Redfish Rodeo
October 15, 2025
The last couple weeks Mother Nature has treated us with some horrible weather but then just like that it is beautiful again. We've had to work around the rain, high winds, and rough seas and we're still putting fish in the boat. Sebastian Inlet has been torn up lately so we've been doing a lot of river fishing. The water levels have been super high due too the King Tides ànd the heavy rains we've been having. The high water levels are allowing us to get back into places we normally can't go because of the depth and it's been very successful. Redfish have been our top fish with a few snook and trout in the mix. Jacks, ladyfish, and bluefish have also given us some good battles as well. Lastly, the mullet run is still in full effect so get out with us soon before time runs out.
