What anglers said about fishing in Florida Bay

For offshore and bad weather, the bigger the boat, the better. More money but a small boat may cancel the whole trip.

The half-day reef fishing was a good opportunity to check out the weather, the fishing, and the captain, anticipating the possibility of a follow-on trip. Johnny Maddox Charters was excellent.

A local captain is a must. Fish here are not like the Gulf. Fish are picky and the captain must have multiple techniques to catch them.

April and May is the best fishing typically. But, if you have the right captain you can usually get on some fish anytime of the year.

May want to wear some thin fishing pants and long sleeve fishing shirt…..horse flies can get rough near the mangrove trees at times. Still totally worth it.

Just make sure to go over what you will be doing on your charter. We were supposed to fish then snorkel and we only fished. Fishing only was cheaper than what I picked for our charter and it became all fishing that day. Otherwise it was great.

I would book a full day trip, which allows you to spend adequate time fishing at several locations including spots that are further away from port. Full day trips also are better if you want to target multiple species of fish. Lastly, let the captain know what fish you want to target in advance so that he can plan accordingly.
