The fishing is great year round, and the crew has the right vessel to put you on fish. You will join Cap’n Doug aboard his 20’ Angler center console. She is powered by a new 175 HP Yamaha engine, and can reach the speeds of up to 32 knots. The vessel is rigged with GPS, a fishfinder and a live bait well. The fishing is best done with up to four anglers onboard.

You will be fishing bay and back waters, searching for the likes of Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, Sharks, Mangrove Snapper and many more.

When you come onboard, you will get the rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait. The captain will provide the fishing license and will serve some drinks onboard. You can keep the catch and will get it cleaned and filleted. 

You should bring a cap, sunglasses, sunblock, put on comfortable clothes and footwear, pack some snacks, and take your camera with you. Cap’n Doug is a Veteran
