About Your Trip

Like all of our trips, on this one we offer one of the area's only "Catch fish GUARANTEE". Our team of Captains have fished these waters their entire lives and have the confidence to guarantee you will catch fish or your next trip with us will be FREE.

This trip is in the protected waters of the back bays or intracoastal waterway. On the inshore trips we use live bait and artificial bait depending on the conditions and recent trip results. Target species include Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Pompano, Sharks, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Mackerel and a few others depending on the time of year. Every days conditions are different and the Captain will adjust your trip to whatever is the most productive style of fishing. From sight fishing in the clear shallow waters to catching Snapper, Sharks or Grouper in 40ft of water, the local bays offer our clients a diverse fishery.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
