Set 'Em Up Fishing Charters offers unforgettable backcountry fishing trips designed for anglers of all skill levels. Specializing in the pristine and tranquil waters of the backcountry, these trips take you to hidden shallow flats, and secluded creeks teeming with a variety of fish species. With an experienced and knowledgeable captain at the helm, you'll target prized catches like redfish, black drum, and speckled trout, all while enjoying the natural beauty of the untouched ecosystem.

The charter provides top-quality gear, bait, and expert guidance to ensure a successful and enjoyable outing. Whether you're a seasoned angler seeking a new challenge or a beginner looking to cast your first line, Set 'Em Up Fishing Charters offers a tailored experience that combines relaxation, adventure, and the thrill of reeling in the big one. Perfect for families, small groups, or solo adventurers, these trips promise a memorable journey into the heart of the backcountry's serene fishing paradise.

Outfitted with Minnkota trolling motors, Simrad electronics, and a full matching array of light tackle spinning rods, and reels. Captain Joe will bring you deep into the creeks to find a hot bite! His 16’ Hewes Flats boat is powered by a 75 HP Yamaha engine and features an ice-box and a livewell. The boat can accommodate up to 2 anglers. This Boat is a fishing machine that isn't decked out in creature comforts.

By using light spinning tackle you're sure to feel connected to every bite! Catch and Release is great but keeping within state limits is fine, Captain Joe will even clean and bag your catch! The shorter 3 and 4 hour trips are best for the Young Guns. Please no children under 4.

Be sure to dress in light breathable layers as protection from bugs and the Florida sun. Also, remember to pack drinks, snacks, and anything else you would need in a small soft side coo

It was truly a blessing I took my ten your old out as a bday present for the first time is was truly a honor to have had Captain Joe Curtis at the helm. He went above and beyond for my son and I and made our trip truly special. He is a true professional has extreme patience( I not my son lost a pole to the ocean) and knew his stuff got us on fish and kept us in them. I will be booking again as long as he forgives me for the pole lol once again thank you Capt

Joe was a great host. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area and put us on fish quickly. He was quite conversational and my wife and I enjoyed our time on the water with him. We will certainly look him up again!

4 Hour Trip Back Country/River (AM) on October 22, 20231 adult1 child
My son and I had a great morning fishing. The captain was able to put us on the fish within a half an hour, and it just kept getting better. He educated us on fishing, how to spot them, and how to approach. Was an all around great experience.
