Winter time can be a little slow with wind and target species being easy to find so just bear in mind what time of year it is when booking

Steve Saum
If younwant guided help and learning about what andcwherevto fish, do this boat tour first! We booked a 6 hour and it was not too long.

Tim McMullen
We caught lots of fish. But from what I've heard when the water is warmer in the spring/fall the fishing is insane

Lee Tuftee
Go somewhere else, halfway through our charter the captain said that red tide wiped out the fishing a handful of years ago 2018 and it’s still recovering.

Trevor Slack
Weather temp in December is hit and miss but but if that doesn't bother you then this is the place to go.

Offshore fishing 60 to 70 miles out. 10 or 12hr trip will give you the best chance to catch the bigger fish.

Hire an experienced Captain like Mike Moran at Dragonfly Charters to guide you and put you on the fish

I would recommend leaving early, or going in the beginning evening. It gets really hot out and the sun is brutal.

I recommend a early morning trip while it is cool out. Also recommend a multi species trip so you can have a great day on the water.

Get you a great charter with Reel Fishing SWFL CHARTER and go have fun and catch fish ! Lots of local fishing as well in the canals and spillways !

Careful of the weather, as we had to move days due to storms, and ended up being on choppy water near the end of our trip making snapper fishing difficult.

Plan a half day trip if you are taking your kids for the first time. This gives you plenty of time to catch multiple fish.

Wear proper clothing, a hat, sunglasses, and definitely sun screen.
Being on the water is always fun.

Always be prepared for changes in weather and conditions.
Expect fishing and you’ll be satisfied. Especially fun when you never know what you might pull out of those waters.

Great experience. I hadn't gone fishing in years. This experience made me realize what I've been missing

Take a guide out and learn. The fishing was not difficult to learn if you have any type of fishing background

Just come with an open mind. Fishing here is different than where we're from. Different fish, different tackle, etc. Listen to your captain and have fun.

What a great experience! Captain Joe was the best! I highly recommend booking with him. Happy fishing!

Amber McGregor
Arvada, CO
From what our captain had to say, it's really great fishing, but we only caught one ocean trout in 3 hours of fishing. Mostly due to the storm I'm assuming.

Carol Brodie

Had a fantastic time with Capt Paul and Kelly! Caught a lot of small fish; the large ones just weren't biting.

Call Captain Brian there are a lot of choices and you really need someone who wants to get you on the big fish and is willing to move around to do it.

Bring plenty of water and Gatorade it gets really hot out on the water. Sun block is a must and be ready to catch fish.

ceertain fish are running at various weather patterns/ tides....go with the captains recommendations

James Murphy
If you can cast a flyrod relatively accurately you will have a blast with the fish in this area

Jeff Sommer
If you're not a good accurate caster then practice it will help make your experience much better

Rich Thomas
4hr trips aren’t enough. You stay busy catching fish and want the extra time to keep catching

Sarah Arp
Captain Isaiah is perfect for first time fishing or if you are an experienced fisherman!!

Will Glanville
We caught a ton of fish. Not a lot of size but a lot of fish. It kept the kids very engaged
