About Your Trip

Get out on the waters of the Indian River Lagoon for a hands-on, action-focused fishing trip built around staying mobile and targeting what’s biting. From shallow flats to mangroves, bridges, and docks, these trips cover a variety of productive zones to keep rods bending throughout the day.

Depending on conditions, you’ll be targeting species like snook, redfish, tarpon, speckled trout, flounder, sheepshead, and jack crevalle. A mix of techniques may be used, including spinning with
light or heavy tackle, as well as fly fishing for those looking for a more technical approach.

The Experience

Trips are offered in 4, 6, and 8-hour options, giving you the flexibility to choose how much water you want to cover. Shorter trips are great for hitting a few key zones and capitalizing on peak bite windows, while longer trips allow more time to explore, adjust, and stay dialed in as conditions change.

These trips are hands-on and tailored to your experience level, whether you’re new to fishing or looking to refine your approach. Captain Cal focuses on keeping things productive, fun, and easy to follow throughout the day.

The Boat & Setup

You’ll be fishing aboard a brand new 24’ center console built for both comfort and performance. The boat is equipped with GPS, fishfinder, trolling motor, livewell, and plenty of space for up to 6 anglers.

Top-quality rods, reels, tackle, and flies are provided, along with fresh live bait ready to go each trip. Drinks, light snacks, and fish cleaning are all included, so you can focus entirely on fishing.

Good to Know

Fishing licenses are covered, so all you need to do is show up ready to fish. Alcohol is allowed in moderation (no glass or hard liquor), and kids are always welcome.

Whether you’re chasing your first snook or looking to check tarpon off your list, this is a well-rounded inshore experience with a focus on quality gear, local knowledge, and making the most of your time on the water.
