Full-day fishing charter
Six hours to follow the tide, change water when the bite moves and target the fish worth a trip: tarpon in summer, bull reds in the fall, big black drum in winter. If you do not catch a fish, you do not pay.
The full day is the trip Capt. Fred built his reputation on. With six hours you can start on the flats at dawn, move to the inlet for the tide change and finish along the beach, all in one trip. No spot is off the table.
From May to October the full day is tarpon time: live bait, heavy spinning tackle and fish that jump higher than the console. The rest of the year it means bull redfish, black drum over 40 pounds, cobia in spring, sharks in summer, and everything the half day catches in between.
The guarantee is simple. Catch nothing all day and the trip is free. In 25 years, Fred has rarely had to honor it, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Questions
Full Day FAQ
Does "no fish, no pay" really apply?
Yes. If nobody on the boat catches a single fish on a full-day trip, you owe nothing beyond the deposit, which Fred returns.
Can a full day include the nearshore reefs?
When the ocean is calm, yes: book the nearshore trip ($800, fuel included) and Fred runs to the reefs for cobia, kings, amberjack or sharks.
Should we bring lunch?
Yes, and plenty of water. There is a cooler on board and a shade top.
