If it's your first time, take Dramamine the night before and an hour before your trip. Worked well for multiple boat trips with varying conditions.

All was great and going directly out of stock Island saves running time. We had lines in within 25 mins. of leaving the dock.

Bring sunscreen and apply liberally. Bring a hat. Bring snacks for in between most boats wont provide. Bring hydrating packages to put in the water bottles they provide. Bring YOUR OWN freezer bags for your catch. They do the fillets but give you a shopping bag for all your catch. So if you want all your fish separated once, you will have to provide the bags

Captain Dan is by far the best fishing charter I have been in. Five minutes into anchoring we started catching fish and it did not stop all day!

The weather was great. Not too hot! It was a little windy but Captain John knew how to get into the quiet spots out of the wind. I really like the end of April fishing here.

You will catch something with these guys, I promise that, I’ve been fishing for 33 of my 36 years of life and this was probably the best trip I’ve ever been on. 3 hrs is the perfect amount of time !

Definitely decide between offshore and near shore because the shallow water around the keys is definitely different than my other fishing experiences around the gulf. April has had some cold snaps so the sailfish and permit were not here yet. That was a little disappointing but nothing the captain can control.

Give multiple days to fish, weather is pretty rough most times I’ve fished the keys, or but able to handle rougher water. Both times I’ve fished the keys my fishing partners have gotten sick, and they’ve not had the best experience, But we’ve caught fish.

March is a transition period and an angler has to be prepared to go with whatever the captain thinks is the most productive fishing. Captain Zane of Second Nature Charters was quick to seek out opportunities, and the result was productive fishing. Would highly recommend fishing with Second Nature Charters.
