Always go out in the ocean with an open mind. It’s not always going to be a perfect catch but keep trying. My captain was Brandon and the first mate was Holden. Ask for them they are professional and treat you great.

We actually went out of Little River. My wife was a bit hesitant to make the trip, as she became sick many years ago on a boat. Our trip was on Fish Hook II, which was a great size for our group and is a perfect size for a family, including children. The wife did great and was very happy with the trip. Everyone enjoyed the trip. I took a trip with one of my daughter's about 5 years ago. The boat was over crowded, exhaust fumes were bad, and my daughter got sick. I did extra research this time to ensure we didn't have a similar experience. This is how I found Fish Hook II and it was an excellent choice for us. This was the first trip for 3 of our party, and a first time fishing (of any kind) for one. We all had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend this boat and the experience to anyone considering a fishing trip.

Small charters are the way to go. Don't reserve a charter that takes 20+ people at once. Our boat took 6 people and it was perfect.
If you're looking to catch the big stuff, reserve a full day trip to get out far enough on the ocean, and take 6 people because there's a limit to how many fish each person can keep.

If the weather is the slightest bit questionable before or during your chosen trip don't go out. The water was very choppy which made me very nervous having a small child with me. Even though I felt we could trust the crew.

I would recommend that anglers check the fishing season. We realized after we booked the charter that what we were fishing for was not in season. We are inexperienced anglers so we really didn’t expect to catch many fish anyway!I would also recommend that they check the reviews before booking. One of the reasons we chose Captain Lee was due to the positive reviews that he received.

Short trips can't go out as far. Spending a little more to go on the 1/2 day even the full day trips are better for the more experienced fisherman. Short trips are great for the kids to learn and get used to the boating experience.

If you want to go for the experience of catching fish go to a party boat because it is less expensive and you catch the same small fish that have to be released. If you want to catch game fish go somewhere else. If you want to cook your catch, buy them at a fish market!

Find out when is the best time to come fish in the area and when is good for what you want to catch. And book a full day instead of half a day so you can go farther out and have better chance of catching more and bigger fish

Check the weather! If you're doing the charter talk with the captain about your time slot. If he's any good he'll tell you how the water is and how the fish are biting. Then have you make the choice.

Spend a full day fishing, it takes about 45-60 minutes to get from the marina to the good ocean spots! Weather was good and only slightly windy.

Half day trip to catch a variety of fish for fun and eating; full day if you seriously want some bigguns

If you want bigger fish go out on the gulf charter. 12 hours or better. If you just wanna put fish on the table go out on the 5 to 7 hr trips.

Get on the Lone Palm fishing charter and you will feel the fight and taste the rewards!

Alden Jackson
Captain Cody is the best!
You will have a great time and catch lots of fish.
Thanks again Sir!

We happened to get a choppy day when nothing was biting. But I have no idea if that's an accurate reflection of April or just an accurate reflection on fishing in general!

A buddy that was with us got sea sick! Don't forget to take some anti-nausea medication before jumping aboard!

The water was glassy, winds fairly calm. By noon the temperature started to climb so I suggest you head out early to avoid the high heat.

Too slow and cold. Many sport fish and larger fish moves into warmer waters, further out. Spend too much time traveling than fishing.

Christopher Beaver

Come during the fall when it's not so hot and the bigger fish are moving closer to shore as the water cools down.

Mary Ann Carroll

Because it is hot and the water is warm, fishing success is spotty. Even with this, we caught fish and enjoyed the act of fishing. Sometimes it's the journey, not the destination, that matters.

Try the charters, like this one! It is a great experience! Lots of fun and you get more personal attention then on bigger boats!

Make sure and take dramamine no matter your boat experience. Wouldn't want to ruin the trip by taking a chance.

Charter with Any Tide Fishing. You will not find a better experience of Captain, boat and equipment.

It was a tough day fishing since it was a few days after the hurricane hit the area.
