You’d be a fool not to give Captain Dave a chance to show you how your fishing trip is supposed to be!

Yes, be sure to keep an eye on your depth finder. There are a lot of sand bars, so for your boat not good.....fishing awesome.

If fishing in July it is best to not necessarily expect to catch the fish you’re targeting thus referring it to fishing versus catching. Captain Mike was very informative and very helpful.

Weather conditions can affect ability to go offshore fishing. Full moon can also decrease ability to catch fish.

Start out with a 4 hr trip to get your feet wet with deep sea fishing. Be prepared if you have rough seas. Dramamine is your friend!

Check out recreational red snapper in Federal waters. Fish for red snapper in 75 to 80 feet of water.

Water is a little cool for strong bite but the fish are out there and it's still better than fishing up north this time of year LOL!

Be patient! Fishing is about being patient and that can be hard trait sometimes. Listen to the boat captain and crew they will teach you everything you need to know.

Be sure you have nausea medication....the patch did not work for us! And bring water! We brought mostly sodas and that isnt good when you get sea sick! Now we know :)

Pick a comfortable boat with AC. The Ocean can lay down and be glass smooth in July but that also means no breeze.

Get a good guide that grew up fishing the Port Orange waters, knowing where the fish will be is 95% of a successful fishing trip. Age doesn't always provide the required knowledge.

May can be very windy and if weather isn’t great the fishing won’t be as great.

Be prepared for cooler weather in October. Also bring a cooler for taking home your fish.

I think that any time you fish an unknown area for the first time a charter is a good way to go.
