    Great Charter with Great People!

    5 Hour Trip – Sheepshead/ Nearshore2 adults

    My wife and I had a great trip with Good Time Charters. Their passion to catch fish and dedication to serve their clients was both amazing and genuine! They worked hard to make sure we were on the best spots and did not hesitate to make moves as necessary to keep us on the fish. Additionally, they made every effort to provide us the best customer service from making sure we were trying multiple baits which allowed us to catch multiple species as well as quicky securing our catch and helping rebait our poles. My wife, who has some disabilities noted that this was the best charter she had ever been on. Great Customer Service + Great Fishing = Excellent Trip. If you want to have a great trip with great people you have to try Good Time Charters!

    Lovely chilled trip

    4 Hour Trip Scalloping for 2 ppl2 adults

    We went scalloping with good time charters. My sister and I had no experience in snorkeling at all, but captain Melissa looked after us and knows the best spots for beginners. My sister and I had an amazing time catching scallops and visiting the undersea world. Captain Melissa also showed us lots of interesting sea life. We cannot thank her enough for her kindness.

    Reported catch:
    Scallop
    Response from Captain

    Had the best time showing them the gulf and how to collect scallops.

    I took my grandchildren afrs 7 & 10 and my 15 year old scalloping with Capt Melissa. The ride out was lovely. She gave us a lesson and eas so hands on with the kids. We had so much fun and got so many scallops. She even taught us how to shuck them. Highly recommend her!

What's biting with Good Time Charters in Steinhatchee

As autumn comes to town, move to deeper waters to go after Speckled and Sand Trout. Make the most of scalloping while it's still in season, and if you're looking to go offshore, Grouper and Amberjack await.
