We leave the dock at 630 on 4 hr trips and 6 on the 5 an 6 hr trips. When chase these mackerel we like to troll with clarkspoons at different depths to find where they are best feeding.

About Your Guide

Scotty W.

Independent Guide

Locally raised I've been on the water since I was a kid fishing with my granddad. Originally I started out commercial fishing but picked charter fishing up around 16 and haven't stopped since! We specialize in nearshore and offshore fishing. Both bottom and trolling options are available. We ask that you tip the mate 20% or greater of your charter at the end of the trip. Also fishing cleaning is available upon request for a small fee at the end of the trip. If fishing isn't your presence we also offer a family adventure package. Come learn to Efoil with us and see all the local sites like our lighthouse or local wild pony's.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

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 event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
