Drink plenty of water! It's hot out there when there's no breeze! Let the captain do his job. He knows what and where to fish to help you have a successful day. Once that's accomplished, he'll take you to target other species you'd like to catch!

We actually were a lot further south near Anclote, where we had a shorter ride to reach the scallops.

Water was a bit warm for the fish, and we caught many that were too small for keeping, but we were busy fishing all day and had a great time!

I would definitely go earlier in the year for easier finding of scallops. However, we still had an amazing time and Taylor helped us find plenty of scallops

Get there early to park at Pete’s Pier! It’s the usual buzz in the AM at the boat launch. Prepare to see dolphin and manatee. Ample fishing and scalloping.

Light rain gear as showers are possible anytime. Bring drinks, snacks, sunglasses and hats. Know the basics of casting and fishing. Of course the captain will help but your experience will be richer if you practice and learn a little first.

Salty Day Fishing Charters

There are many species you can fish for. Be willing to experiment with different types of fish. They all fight good, and most are good to eat.

Focus on in-shore fishing. The deep drop is a long boatride out to the fishing ground and you may be more successful spending your time fishing for speckled trout, redfish and snook in-shore.
