There are also various types of Snapper and Grouper that might interest even the most experienced angler. Plus, you can chase Sharks in those waters too!
Fast Cast Fishing will welcome you aboard a 26’ Pathfinder. The boat comes powered by a single 300 HP Yamaha engine and has plenty of space for up to 6 passengers. It is outfitted with navigational and fish finding electronics, Minn Kota and Power-Pole equipment, and other professional accessories.

Your captain will provide you with quality gear and tackle by Shimano, all the bait, lures, and licenses. Bottled water will be available onboard, so you can feel free to bring your own snacks with you.
Once you’re done fishing, your catch could be cleaned by the captain. Take it home and have your weekly dinners sorted out. Fish on!

Nearshore Fishing (6 Hour) on February 11, 2025
Had an amazing time out with Captain Lou. February isn’t the best time for fishing cause the weather can be tricky, but Captain Lou did everything he could to make sure we saw some action. Would definitely recommend Fast Cast Fishing for your trip. If we are ever looking for another charter, we will definitely book with him.
