How many people can come?
Up to 4 anglers. The price covers 1 or 2 people; each extra angler is $75. Non-fishing passengers count toward the 4.
What is the "No fish, no pay" guarantee?
On full-day trips, if you do not catch a single fish, you do not pay for the trip. In 25 years it has been a very cheap promise to make.

What time do trips start?
Usually at first light, when the bite is best and the water is calm: around 6:30 to 7:30 am depending on the season. Later starts are possible, just ask.
Do you offer night fishing?
On request, mostly in summer for tarpon and snook. Text Capt. Fred with your dates and he will tell you if it makes sense.
