Take the 3/4 day trip if you can. Cost extra but we thought it was worth the trip to go further out.

Dockside Fishing Charters
Anyone with experience can land just about every catch if used to fishing from a boat. 2/3 people in my party have never fished before and still caught huge baddies.

Hounddog Fishing Charters
We were just a little early in the season to really have a good shot at getting many more fish besides the spotted sea trout and the bulefish. But it was still a great trip.

Island Time Charters
Things just getting started in April, and if you are fortunate enough to catch days in the upper 60's and low 70's, I'm sure you'll find a much more aggressive bite!

Check ahead with what's biting in the area if you have some flexibility in your travels to the area. Depending on the warmth of the water, you may have different experiences. We just missed spanish mackerel season by a week!

This time of year is tricky due to the weather. Bring a positive attitude. I would recommend rain gear. You may get wet on the way out depending on the ocean. Gloves , hat, jacket will be needed in the cold months.
