Charter Info/Rates
What I bring:
-
You'll be fishing aboard a Dolphin Superskiff. One of the softest driest riding boats of its size ever made. Nothing fancy and zero carbon but trust me the fish can't tell.
-
I'll provide all the tackle, fishing license, ice, flies, and/or bait.
-
No ego and no yelling but if you're thin skinned I'm probably not your guy. Also, the Earth is not flat and men can't get pregnant..
-
A pushpole that gets used, a lot!
-
The drive to get you as many shots at fish as possible.
What you should bring:
-
A good set of polarized sunglasses are an absolute must. Preferred lens tints being anything that falls under the brown/amber spectrum or yellows.
-
Whatever you want to drink or eat.
-
Sunblock.
-
A hat, buff style face mask and breathable clothing. When the wind dies you'll be glad you did.
-
Rain gear is must unless you want to wear my emergency glorified trash bags.
-
Most importantly, a positive attitude and your complete attention. This is some of the most challenging fishing there is. Little room for error with more than plenty for failure....especially if you're chasing Permit.
-
A backcast.
-
Finally, practice, practice, and more practice. Your ability to hit a small target at 20-50 feet in all sorts of wind directions in the minimal amount of time will be the most crucial ingredient to your success. I cannot stress that enough.
You're welcome to bring whatever gear you may want to use. Please check with me first so we can be sure it's set up right and adequate enough to handle what the Bay has to offer.
Typical rod wt size for our fish are as follow:
6-9wt for Bonefish
8-10wt for Permit
10-12wt for big Tarpon
All WF floating line.
I use disappearing clear Ande monofilament for my leaders. ;)
RATES
Full Day/ 8Hrs+ $800
Half Day/ 4Hrs $500
Unless time is an issue, a full day of fishing is highly recommended for the best chance a success. Many variables are in play . Tides, weather, time of year, distances, water temp must all be taken in to account. A half day severely limits our options although with a little luck and the right conditions, a few fish can be brought to hand.
Booking/Cancellations
A $200 dollar deposit is required to hold your day. Cancellations may be made up to 7 days before your trip. If you cancel after 7 days up to 48 hrs before your trip your deposit will be held and may be used for a future date. Any cancellations or no shows up to 48 before your trip will require full payment. All weather cancellations will be at my discretion. Believe me, it's no fun fishing when it's crappy out and I rather not force it. But if you're willing and it's safe to do so then GAME ON!
