If you're ready to go fishing in Apalachicola, book a trip with Coast Runner Outfitters. With Captain Donny at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

King Mackerel (Kingfish), Great Barracuda, Red Snapper, Amberjack, Gag Grouper, Sailfish, Red Grouper, Tarpon, Goliath Grouper, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Cobia, Mangrove Snapper, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the season.

On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Donny can also help you try kite fishing.

You'll be casting lines from a 28' Center console with space for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, everything you need for a productive day on the water.

Capt. Donny will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
