What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Daytona Beach, Florida for the first time?

The fishing was great but the weather and water conditions could have been better. It was cold, windy, and the water was a bit rough. The captain, his helper, the boat and equipment was great, but next time (for the sake of my twin 12 year olds who got a bit sea sick) we will fish during a warmer and calmer time of year. Speaking strictly fishing, we were catching fish constantly and a great variety of fish which made up for the tough weather conditions. Scott was easy going and tried to make everyone feel comfortable.

They provide everything- best thing is to listen and take their guidance as they are the experts for sure! Do t hesitate to ask questions as they are very kind and love talking about fishing and they point out things in the ocean we would have missed- jellyfish- turtles-dolphins- manatee.

Book a guide that is very familiar with the area and knows how to work a Garman. Highly recommend Chubby mullet charters. Hauls in several reds 35 lbs are better also snook , Colt cleaned the ones we limited out on and let’s us know as restaurant where they fish could be cook it was excellent and fun.

Be prepared to catch 90 % red snapper. They fight hard and make for an excellent experience. Too bad you cannot keep for the dinner plate but that's what happens with the federal government oversight, they make rules that make no sense.

Take ginger ale or ginger chews with you. Motion sickness pills don't work as good. Decide what you are going to do with the catch you keep before you go. Expect to have to throw back a lot that are too small or out of season.

If the red fish bite is on you will have a great time! The mangrove-sheepshead- etc fun to catch too!

September brings almost daily rain. Bring a hard shell jacket so when something kicks up, you are prepared.

They say August isn’t the best time to be out fishing but we had amazing time with Captain Steve. Give him a call!

Bring your children this was a wonderful trip with a wonderful captain and co-captain. They were warm and friendly and extremely patient.

contact captain, Ron, and captain Brad, you will have a great time, and you will catch what you want to catch!

The hot sun becomes very intense in the afternoon. Make sure to drink lots of fluids and bring an umbrella or something for shade. We cut our trip short because the sun was too intense for us.

Get a knowledgeable crew who takes the time to explain the fishing info & also helps you like Captain Scott & Travis.

Really enjoyed going out deep with Captain Scott last and Ryan. Great memories with my daughter and grandkids.

Be careful during cold fronts! Seas could get a little choppy and stop you from going too far off shore.
