About Your Trip

Get ready for an unforgettable fishing trip with OWNER AND CAPTAIN CHUCK.

This 8-hour year-round charter is a target Gulf trip designed to deep water drop into 400-1000 feet of blue water. Your target species for this trip will be yellow edge grouper, snowy grouper, tile fish, bearded brotula and scamp grouper.

This trip is ideal for the serious thrill-seeking fisherman. These fish are known for their hard fights and make for an exciting challenge,
whether it’s your first time on the rod or you’re a seasoned pro.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 36’ Center Console, a sleek and powerful fishing vessel built for speed, comfort, and performance. Powered by triple Yamaha engines with 900 total horsepower, this boat will get you to the fishing grounds in no time. Outfitted with the latest Garmin electronics, it’s equipped with everything you need for a successful day on the water. There’s even a coffin box and coolers to ensure you have plenty of room for gear and refreshments.

Captain Chuck will provide all the rods, reels, and tackle needed for the trip, so you don’t have to worry about bringing your own gear.

Once we have crossed the Destin Pass you will get the opportunity to meet the LIVE Bait guys where you can purchase bait for your trip. The cost ranges from $40 - $60. Capt. can also provide you the reels to shoot your shot at catching your own bait.

Please feel free to bring your favorite snacks and drinks as long as it’s in non-glass container.

With space for up to six people, this trip is the perfect way to enjoy the beauty of the Gulf and the thrill of the catch.

I booked this for my husband and our oldest son for Father’s Day. My husband has always wanted to do a fishing excursion. They had the best time, we took their catch to The Edge where they prepared it for us.
I highly recommend Lonestar Charter and Captain Chuch
