We offer light tackle fishing charters in the Gulf of Mexico and Choctawhatchee Bay. The options include offshore guided fishing trips, inshore charters, and surf fishing charters. The trips are for four people (or 5 if at least one is under 13 years old). We fish with gear light enough to get to know the fish but heavy enough that you should be able to land it.
