What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Vero Beach, Florida for the first time?

It is worth doing a guided trip at the start of your time here. Captain Jake knew where the fish were likely to be and what works best to catch them. He let us know where to go during the remainder of our trip for fishing.

I would strongly recommend using Capt. Paul services to gain knowledge of the area regarding fishing. He is a very experience fisherman with very good gear and knowledge of the area. Be prepare to see dolphins, manatee and many species of birds. Very polite and patent with his quests. I would highly recommend his services. David Hernandez

Even though we were told that fishing isn't catching (with no guarantees), we caught the fish we targeted because we managed our expectations, and chartered a boat with the right captain.

I would recommend that you take more than a half-day trip, time flies out there. If I could do it again I would do a longer trip ?

Vero offers great variety for inshore fishing and has quick access to the Ft Pierce inlet for those who want to go offshore.

A bit chilly due to unusual cold front in December. It’s an early start so wear layers and you’ll be fine!

Get someone local knowledgeable of the area. The lagoon is just as good fishing as the ocean

Absolutely fantastic calm seas with blue skies all day long! Great fishing too!
