About This Charter

Head into the Gulf of Mexico on a nearshore charter designed to reach productive wrecks, hardbottom areas, ledges, reefs and seasonal structure up to about nine miles offshore. These trips offer a great balance of adventure and accessibility without committing to a long offshore run.

Nearshore trips can produce a wide variety of Florida species, including grouper, snapper, kingfish, cobia, hogfish, triple tail, Spanish mackerel, sheepshead and more depending on the season. Captain Bryan selects the route and targets based on current conditions and what has been active in the local waters.

All fishing licenses, rods, reels, tackle, bait, water, ice and required safety equipment are included, making the trip easy for both visiting anglers and local groups.
