About Your Trip

Looking for the perfect family day out? Bring the little ones and join Captain Wayne for some rod bending action at some of his favorite honey holes up and down the emerald coast. With only a 15-minute ride to the gulf, kids can be tight on a fish in a matter of minutes!

Captain Wayne is looking to get the next generation as excited about saltwater fishing as he is, this means these trips will target whatever is biting the most. He will provide all the setups for the youngsters from rods and reels, to tackle and baiting their hooks. These trips are mostly catch and release only!

You will meet up with Captain Wayne at L J Schooners Dockside Restaurant to board his 26’ NauticStar center console that comfortably fits up to 4 anglers. This sweet ride is perfect for kids as it provides cushioned seating and plenty of space. It is equipped with a freshwater shower if you end up taking a dip in the ocean, a full head, 2 bait tanks, and an ice box to provide you with the best possible experience.

Captain Wayne will supply you and yours with sunscreen, water, and snacks.

Captain Wayne was great. First place we stopped, three of the four of us had bites on our 1st cast. Two reeled in fish within 3 minutes.
