Port Fishing Charters

Member since September 2019 Port Canaveral, United States
Background
I'm Captain John Walters owner and one of the captains. Third-generation fisherman on the Space Coast of Florida, and I've been fishing since the early '80s. For decades, endless hours have been spent fishing these waters. With this experience, I've won three Tripletail tournaments in a row and have also won a new boat. I've had great success in local Kingfish tournaments. I also specialize in fishing multiple species. My goal is to use my expertise and diverse approach to catch as many fish as possible to bring smiles to my clients. We try not to target any one species just whatever biting that day. So you can catch as many fish as possible. We throw mostly live shrimp around the jetties and docks in the port. This gives you a better chance of catching everything. So, book a trip, and one of us will put a smile on your face!
Techniques
Rod and reel. We are the top producers for tripletail, snook, pompano, flounder, whiting, Spanish mackerel, shark, black drum and redfish. I try not to target just one species of fish and try to catch a lot of fish depending on what's around that day.
