Background
Captain Ed Zona is the owner and operator aboard Apex Fishing Fleet (Full CIRCLE). He has fished the waters of Central Florida since 1990 and is a USCG licensed captain. Capt. Zona enjoys sharing the knowledge he's picked up over the years with others! Fishing has been in the Zona family for over 50 years, from charters to commercial fishing. He knows how much fun fishing is as a family adventure and the memories that will last and will be passed down. All safety equipment is aboard the vessel, which can take up to four people for one low price! All licenses, tackle, bait, and ice are provided at no extra charge. Your catch can be cleaned and iced after the trip.
Techniques
Captain Zona is lucky enough to enjoy some great versatile fishing. Hailing port is out of Ponce Inlet. Trips can vary from near shore (3 miles) to offshore (30 miles). Some place to go include the wrecks, reefs, and ledges and his favorite bottom fishing spots.
