About Your Trip

Looking to spend a day on the calm inshore waters off of Holmes Beach and reel in some big fish? Join Captain Robert and go after big Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, Spotted Seatrout, Snook, and Redfish on this fun trip. Not only are these fish great to catch, they're also delicious on the grill, in the oven, or otherwise. In particular, Snappers and Redfish are known as great table fare. There will also be chances to catch Tarpon, the "Silver King" of Florida, which are incredible fighting fish!

You'll be fishing using mostly light tackle techniques, but depending on the depth, you might also drop your tackle deeper and jig to get the Groupers' attention. You'll be fishing from the deck of Captain Robert's 23' C-Hawk center console—an ideal boat for these waters. She's powered by a 250-HP Suzuki engine, so you'll be on the fish in a hurry.

Captain Robert will provide everything you need for a perfect trip, including rods, reels, bait, and tackle. All you need to remember is sun protection, a hat, a pair of sunglasses, and a cooler for your snacks and drinks!
