Book with a local fisherman, like Jonathan at Red Snarpon Charters. Someone who really knows the fishing in the area and can adjust if one area is slow.

Be prepared for cold weather if a cold front comes in, as we canโ€™t control mother nature. But the fishing can be great even if you stick through the weather. Thats why it is called fishing and not catching.

wear layered clothing (itโ€™s colder on the water than on the beach), bring a rain-proof jacket if thereโ€™s more than a little wind (ocean spray during the ride to the fishing grounds can get you wet), and listen to your Captainโ€ฆhe definitely knows the places and techniques to get you fish.

Highly recommend this trip. Captain was knowledgeable and out to make our trip what we wanted. We caught fish and he let me run alongside a school of dolphins. We will be repeating customers. Boat was very clean ! Very satisfied with our catch and he filleted them for us and gave us great cooking tips.
