23' Sea Craft deep-v center console powered by a 250 hp Suzuki 4-stroke.  Fast, quiet, comfortable ride! 

Cruising speeds of over 40mph maxing out your time fishing.  The boat is designed for a very soft ride and a t-top with curtains for protection from the heat of summer or the bite of the fall winds while chasing albacore and stripers.

20' Jones Brothers Bateau:  Shallow draft skiff capable of getting where the fish are.

This boat is built for fishing back in the abundant shallow waters surrounding this area.  I usually target red drum, trout and flounder out of the skiff but this versatile boat is capable of heading out of the inlet to pursue spanish mackerel, bluefish and other gamefish close to shore.

Inshore (sounds, marsh and flats fishing) Redfish, Trout and Flounder and more
Half Day (4 hours) $300
3/4 Day (6 hours) $375
Full Day (8 hours) $450

You will have your choice of either boat depending on our quarry and destination for the day.   I can accomodate up to 4 anglers aboard the 23' Sea Craft with a small additional fee over 2 anglers.  Aboard the skiff for the most enjoyable experience on fishing trips I suggest only 2 anglers per trip but a 3rd can be added for a small additional fee.  Depending on what type of fishing we are doing that day a 3rd angler can work just fine.

Book Early!!   Best dates always fill fast...  call or email to check for availability.

A deposit of $125 is required to reserve a date for all trips.  Trips can also be arranged on short notice if there is an opening on that day.  Just give me a call and if I cannot take you I can refer you to another professional and skilled local guide. 

 
  Why hire a guide for a day?   
To catch fish naturally... but is that all you want out of the experience??

When I take a client aboard my boat I want them to feel they are getting more than some nice fish in the boat.  I want them to feel they are truly experiencing an on the water guide service.  An experience that involves not only catching fish but understanding the methods and tactics we will be using to go after our quarry of the day. 

 
  Cancellation Policy
If a cancellation is necessary due to weather the trip will be rescheduled at the convenience of the client or the deposit can be refunded. 

Any cancellation with two weeks notice can be rescheduled or the full deposit refunded.  A cancellation within two weeks of the trip will have the deposit refunded if I can arrange another charter on that day.  Any "no-shows" will result in a forfeited deposit.
