Book an all day trip not half day that only gives you 3 hours of fishing and not every person had a chance to fish.

Timothy Rissman
Fish hitting in morning, slowed down lat morning and early afternoon. But at least we had a nice period of fish biting

Bridget Mcclain Carpenter
Be sure to bring some sunscreen, snacks if you have kids, wet ones, and plenty to drink. Get ready for the best experience!!

Ryan Kelly
I would call a week before and check in with local ports around where you are fishing to see how the fishing is so you know what to expect

Kari Summers
It is super warm but to be expected, lol. I have heard fishing of course is better when cooler but enjoyed it very much

Bob Sarsfield
Any trip in the cocoa beach area with Captain David would be great because he grew up in the area and knows it very well

Jessie Clavin
Listen to your captain. He knows what he’s doing and wants you to fight some fish as much as you do.

Susan Hollister
Review the Charter company rules and suggestions and listen to and follow the instructions of the Captain.

Chris Stephens
The meeting point, dockage and restrooms were easy to find and there was plenty of vehicle parking with a very short walk(even on a fishing tournament day).

Nancy Ponce
Captain David suggested we switch from the offshore trip to fishing in the islands due to the predicted strong wind

Susan Plourde
We never even got an opportunity to get out of the marina. I expect a full refund. The boat was in poor shape to the point where we had to turn around and go back to the dock

William Parke
We caught a lot of Spanish mackerel got a bluefish. a couple more weeks of sunshine could’ve brought some warmer waters and different fish.

Mandy Blake
Come with an open mind, arrive 30 minutes before stated departure, be in the moment & take in the beauty all around you!

Connor Senft
It was fairly windy which makes things challenging. Despite that, we were able to land the target species.

Michael Pierson
Not a ton of species around with water being cool but if you like spanish mackerel you can tear them up.

Dona Silva
Our captain filleted our catch for us, but I don’t know if everyone does, so verify ahead of time. If you're staying nearby, Rusty’s (and maybe other restaurants) will cook your catch for you.

Randy VanVickle
Check the boats, out of a 9 hr booking, we spent 4hrs just getting out and back, boat moved like a lead sled.

Stephen Lemieux
Water was rough and we had to stay near shore but we still caught fish which was the main purpose for this outing.

Willamena Pitcock
Listen to the caption and first mate, they will definitely help you. Take something for motion sickness. Have fun!

John Cason
Just check local laws on what you can keep and what you can’t keep. Our captain put us on the fish and we had a blast. What we could keep was limited. But we had so much fun it didn’t even

Bock a trip and do your own experience. we would do it again. every day is a new chance to catch your preferd fish...

Tyler Pollard

Port Canaveral has a lot to offer in the means of fishing. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking to get on the water and catch some fish!

Ron Mathew
Lithia, FL
Yes. There are a lot of captains there that can keep you busy. That area also has a hotspot for fish to inhabit. We’ve had a great experience for different chargers.

Steven Angay
Lexington Park, MD
Know what fish you want to target and talk to experienced fishing Captains like Captain Tony because he told us what was hot and what was not.

Jesse McIntyre
Absolutely but choose the right charter, it makes a big difference. All the fish we caught were very fun but fine for any fisherman.

Christopher Ramey
What you can catch in July is limited, however Captain Greg can still put you on Trophy sized Snook. They don't disappoint, when you hook up, hold on!

Josh Bollig
Cocoa Beach, Florida
A little hot but that’s to be expected this time of year! A lot of fun with several small fish on the move!!

James Fox
Give Michael @ All Points Guide a try, he genuinely puts the effort in to provide a memorable experience for his guests.

Chad Hague
Louisville, KY
Understand that there are days when fish aren’t biting from the start and you may need to try several spots.

Bryan Kent
Pearland, TX
Book a trip with captain Tony on the Patriot! He’s a professional captain that cares about his clients!
