CHARTER BOOKINGS 2008


 

All fishing charters can accommodate up to six persons and  include all fishing licenses, end tackle, bait, rod/reels, cold drinks, ice and instruction if necessary.

October through to May are the best months for variety, this may vary if the water temperature drops unseasonably like 2001 or we have a nasty bout of RED TIDE. The very best months being from February to May.

Bring your lunch and your alcoholic beverages if you wish, which we will kindly keep cool for you in our refrigerator. We also have an microwave, ice maker, coffeemaker, deep freeze on board which should handle any of your culinary requirements.

    The Florida Middle Grounds are underwater rock formations that provide the habitat for many species and consist of stony corals which in turn are home to an abundant population of large groupers, huge snappers, amberjacks and many other species of fish. The Middle Grounds are basically a CONSERVATION AREA of 1193 sq kilometers and only RECREATIONAL and COMMERCIAL CHARTER ANGLING CHARTER VESSELS are allowed to fish in these waters. i.e.
    Registered Fishing Vessels may not use the designated areas for any form of commercial fishing. i.e. Closed to bottom longlining, trawls and fish traps.

TRIP TIPS

  • Bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a cap/hat.

  • Wear Boat or Tennis Shoes.

  • No black soles please. They mark the boat deck.
  • Bring camera/camcorder as we will probably see Dolphins and also to photograph your catch should you want to release it. Fish always look better in photographs immediately they are captured.

 

  • Bring plenty of food and beverages (Soft drinks such as Coca-Cola, Sprite provided free). We have a microwave to warm food and we can provide sandwiches etc.

  • if required. We also have an ice maker to keep/make those drinks colder.
  • Wear or bring seasonal clothing i.e. Light rain gear

  • If you are prone to seasickness take a seasickness remedy the night before and 1hr before arriving at the boat.

  • Do not over indulge (DRINK ALCOHOL) the night before the trip, nothing's worse than a spoilt day due to induced illness.

  • Bring a cooler for your fish if you wish to take fish home. (Leave this in your car until we return to dockside) We will provide you with ice.

  •  Tips (15% is customary) and are shared equally between the Captain and his mate.
