    fantastic trip

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) • 4 adults • 1 child

    captain james had us on fish right off the bat. had 3 fish in first 4 casts. caught keeper pompano, trout and mangrove snapper. had a blast catching even the smaller troat, skipjack and a few different catfish. captain james even stopped on our way in so my daughter could watch the dolphins on the bay. captain james was very interactive with my 10 year old daughter and was like a fishing buddy to us 2 adults on the boat. we all had a great time, having fish to eat was just a bonus.

    Reported catch:
    Mangrove Snapper
    Ladyfish
    Speckled Trout

    10/10 would recommend!

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) • 4 adults • 1 child

    Sent my son for his 10th birthday who loves to fish with his grandpa and uncle and had the best time! They caught red and black snapper and Captain James went above and beyond to make it happen despite the weather and choppy waters. Would definitely book again next time!

    Great day on the water

    2 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) • 2 adults

    Captain James did an excellent job. We went at a hard time on a Saturday with a lot of boat traffic and late afternoon. We still came home with some fish for the grill. Had a great time! We will definitely go again when we come to Florida.

    Reported catch:
    Mangrove Snapper

    Captain Mike took us out for a short 2hr inland charter. First charter we ever had done. Will try to book a longer trip with him on our next visit. Caught probably 10 fish in a 2 hr trip

Welcome aboard another exciting year of fun fishing with Tradition Fishing Charters!!! So we are excited and prepared for our guests, old and new!!!! We have continued to grow the business and opportunities that we offer. We still have the fleet of bay boats to provide inshore, nearshore, and offshore trips for those looking for that experience. We are offering expanded and different options in the offshore arena this year. We still have the 28' Contender center console to get you to the fishing grounds quickly and safely. We added another offshore center console option with a 26' Twin Vee catamaran. It is a very stable vessel with lots of room for you and your crew. Last but not least, we added the biggest boat we have ever had to our fleet, the 37' Topaz "Fever Reliever". This charter boat is a premium option for people that want to fish while also enjoying the comforts of home. It includes full bathroom facilities, an air-conditioned cabin, and lots of space to fish!!!! So come on down, check us out!!!! Cheers to another fun-filled year of fishing charters!!!!
