Captain definitely made the trip worth while. He made sure that we caught enough fish to satisfy our urge to reel

I recommend fishing at Port Canaveral because there is plenty to do in the area and well suited for adults and kids. The people here are friendly and conveniently located close to cocoa beach

Eat at one of the local restaurants after your trip. We heard good things about all of them but settled on Rusty's, and it was awesome!

Access to Port Canaveral is about as easy a location as you can find ... plenty of parking, and direct access to ocean and Banana river.

Well don't expect to catch fish but you could always have a good day. So get a good boat Capt and mate like me and my kids had and you'll be fine . Definitely will go on ME TOO charter again.

Make sure that your charter or Cpt. can provide what is advertised. LIVE BAIT, FIGHTING SEAT, SECOND MATE OR HAND and specially a boat that is fitted and adequate for the trip.

It seemed that inshore fishing is hit or miss. I guess if I had to do it over, I’d try the offshore trip to see if we would have better luck.

Just make sure in April to check the weather and offshore reports. It can either be great conditions or a bit rough. Just make sure to get yourself out on a nice flat day.

Always be prepared for changing weather conditions at all times. I recommend bringing rain gear such as poncho or jacket.

Plan on making plans to take fish back and make sure your plans are in place before you fish in Port Canaveral.

We didn't have any luck out in the boat (3 croakers) but we did catch a shark off the beach which was awesome. Hopefully the fishing is better for you than it was for me.

It's a lot of fun however, season matters! Do a little research on what to expect to catch.

Take your filets to Rusty’s restaurant and have them cook them for your lunch or dinner.
