Good weather. Had to dodge ran most of the day but wasn’t hot so that was a plus.

Talk to the captain ahead of time, align your expectations with the captain, enjoy.

Probably not for snook, would just go in summer. Other species were good though.

We just didn't ask question about cabin or bathroom facilities on boat. Our mistake not Captain

If you are going out in January, wear lots of layers for warmth. Mornings can be quite chilly.
Doug Whatmore
Make sure you get weather report. If it's under 65 wear a jacket or sweatshirt trust me.
Mike Yarborough
Ask for Captain Dalton! Bring some layers, if fishing in the morning and have fun!

Back bay. Action. Great for kids No trolling. Use live bait and did the best on jigs

Be prepared for comfortable temperatures but limited types and number of fish caught.

Find Capt Drew at Chum Crazy Charters and book a trip you will not be disapponited believe me.

Sun screen, cold drinks, hats and long sleeve fishing shirt.
Expect to be hot.

Windy and rough conditions. Still caught good fish but would try coming earlier in the year

Definitely look into the weather before booking or speak with the captains before hand if you can.

Just be prepared for anything. No guarantee as to what or how much you will catch.

Book with Captain Drew. I fish charters multiple times a year. He ranks #1 with me

Definitely check the weather, it's been cooler this year, luckily we were prepared.

January bring an extra layer or two sunblock sunglasses and a cold sandwich and snacks

CPT Rob is the perfect charter for families with kids or first-time fishing experiences.

Fishing in the spring/summer/early fall is great, but for some reason fishing in December sucks.
