Nearshore Fishing (6 Hour) on March 30, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Rob was awesome. We had high winds which kept us in the bay. Regardless he kept trying to put us on the fish and never gave up! We ended up hitting two areas abundant with spotted sea trout and Mackerel. We had a great time!

Nearshore Fishing (6 Hour) on February 11, 2025 • 4 adultsHad 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.

Our fishing trip was amazing! Captain Lou was very knowledgeable and knew exactly where to find the fish. We took our 6-year ild grandson along and he had a blast. Captain Lou taught him what to do and our grandson was thrilled to catch fish after fish! We greatly appreciated not only the Captain’s patience, but also his willingness to help our grandson by answering all of his questions. The boat also needs a shout out! The captain keeps it immaculate! We also loved the music - a great diversion for someone who often gets seasick. i would highly recommend this charter! You won’t be disappointed!
thank you so much for the kind words. had a great time myself with you all. hope to see you all soon. thanks again!
