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.

I would fish under the causeway at the peer. Great people nice peer with restrooms and lighted fishing peer.

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.

Be patient, not the best time of the year to fish, but they are out there if you have the right guide!

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.

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.

First, go out Captain Tim. He is is excellent and will teach you anything that you need to know. He is patient and a pleasure to fish with!

Be prepared for the winds in March and have some extra gear packed to put on if needed.

Steven Berger
Yes, I would would have unlimited out easily just we’re not that great fisherman

FishingBooker Member
I was pleasantly surprised at how many fish we caught! Will definitely do this again .

Makayla Neatherlin
The waters were very smooth not choppy at all, visibility was fantastic as well.

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

John Sherburn
Not a seasoned saltwater fisherman so I have nothing to really compare it against.

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

I’ve done offshore in Charleston before. This was way better… and exceeded my expectations.

Not extremely hot temperatures with a light cool breeze makes fishing a wonderful experience

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

The weather was very good and the skies were clear. I would bring plenty of sunblock though!

Albert LAWTON

Stay hydrated, use lots of sunscreen and get a good night's rest before your trip!

Bull reds, its that time of year here in Florida and Captain Jarrod knows where they like to feed.
