We fished after a cold front and several days of high wind. If you can find a time with stable weather would be suggested.

If your looking for an awesome, fun, and knowledgeable Captain, then check out Captain Mark Pearson!!
John Mcgraw
There was a prevalent red tide in the area when we were here. Lots of dead little fish on every beach we visited. Still caught fish on our trip though.
James Guidice
Yes…. Captain was very knowledgeable and worked hard to make sure we were catching fish, especially getting the redfish we were after….. recommend
Timothy Nuss
Be patient and pick through smaller fish and you will be rewarded with some larger keepers as well. We caught fish all day and had fun.
Adam Weyrauch
be ready to play the cards you're dealt and fish where you can get to depending on the conditions.
Chris Symons
Joe had a good handle on when and where the fish would be. Worked hard to keep anglers in success for catching fish.
Amy Rice
Live bait is always a good option 9 times out of 10 you’ll catch fish. You’ve just got to be patient!
Carl Erdahl
Yes it was hot but the fishing made my wife and I forget all about the heat. Best part is it's a slower time of year so the fish haven't been stressed out by over fishing.
Brent Warner
Yes it is a must do. I’ve been down here for vacation quite a few times,but today was the first time we went fishing. For now on it is going to be on our agenda every time.
Jw Simmons
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.
