Everglades Fishing Charters: Everyone is welcome, from the most experienced angler to the novice, and a no pressure trip is guaranteed. When we leave the dock in Everglades City or Chokoloskee, you will be aboard one of the classic skiffs of the Florida flats, the Mako 181. I can take up to three people on a charter and even though this is a broad beamed skiff with ample capacity, you will want to pack lightly. Usually one gear bag for a party is enough to keep all your personal supplies together.
What to bring: You will need polarized sunglasses, a hat, sunblock, bug spray, something to eat and a wind breaker, (you can check with me a day or so before your trip for a weather / gear update.) I’ll have a cooler on board with a supply of ice and water. I have all the equipment we’ll need and more but you’re welcome to bring your favorite rods and lures, just let me know beforehand so I know what to pack. I use Penn reels and Ugly Stick rods because they’re tough and we’re going to abuse the heck out of them. Please don’t drop them overboard. You do not need a personal fishing license when you’re on a trip with a Florida charter captain.
There are several launch sites in Everglades City and Chokoloskee that I use depending on the weather, tides, and the plan for the day. Contact me a day or two before our trip for the exact meeting time and location.
Charters are for one, two, or three people and usually last eight hours or more on a full day charter. I’ll do half day charters as well, so call me to find out what’s biting and to discuss a plan for your trip.
