Call captains prior to going out to see current species, conditions… and how to pay captains because app can be confusing

Book the AM trip before the sun gets too hot. A tad cold heading out to the fishing spot but once settled it was a perfect weather.

Seeing dolphins and Manatee was also well worth the trip. The excitement of trying to catch the big one captain Dave was amazing. So much fun

You need to know the location and bait for catching the right species of fish. Local knowledge is important.

I recommend they go for Snook if it is the right time of year. And fish when the tide is moving. I think it makes a big difference.
