Shark Fishing (4 Hour)

Captain Lou had some unfortunate last minute engine issues on his boat but called in Captain Steve to the rescue. Steve was the best Captain we could’ve asked for - brought us to his hidden honey holes (that he’d been feeding for days prior to the trip), hooked us onto everything we asked for, and had all the patience in the world for my 8 and 6 y/o boys. We hooked onto everything - snook, trout, even a black tip shark at the start. Highly recommend to anyone looking to have an awesome day... More

After the previous weekends cold snap, fishing reports were not optimistic. But Lou had us on fish with a variety of fish and enough Sheephead for dinner. We even boated a big Redfish as well! Lou’s experience and know-how were the difference.

Had 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.
