Just listen to your captain and you should land fish. Also don’t bring bananas on the boat.

Listen to your captain and let home put you on the fish. Not all species are easy to catch year round

Hit the gym for a few weeks and work your arms and shoulders before taking these trips
Get some rest, and eat two breakfasts before boarding

Check the size of the boat. Bigger doesn’t cost much if any more and increases your chances to head offshore.

Definitely worth booking with Dauphins Chartars as Captain Don Clearly has a lot of years of experience under his belt.

No necesitas ir a alta mar para encontrar grandes peces, nos llevaron a partes rodeados de casas y ahí sacamos grandes peces y hasta tiburones bebe,

Book the largest boat you can afford otherwise cancel if the boat will be undersized for mild surf or rougher.

Our captain said June is the best season to come out but you can catch fish all summer. We went in late July and caught a ton

Get a highly rated captain and be honest about what you want out of the day. Then listen to the capitan
Jim Sanders
Easy to get with the captain and the fish cleaners were great! Captain knew where the fish were biting and fun anbd exsciting.
Joe Benson
Know whether you’d rather chase big fish or lots of fish. Captain will ask you as it changes where they will take you. Bring cash with you to buy bait fish out in the bay as well
James Johnston
If you’re with the right captain you can catch fish, but it’s fishing not catching. So just do your best and the captain will do his
Chad Hardin
Call ahead of your trip and see how the fishing is. What there catching and how good the bite is before going out.

Weather is nicer on the water than on land, but a lot of water and sunscreen is a must. Keep in mind the busy marina makes the waves a little bit choppy exiting and entering the spot.

If you are wanting the red snapper trip and have the time I suggest you book a longer trip than the 4 hour.
Greg Hamrick
If you want a good amount of fish, do an 8 or 10 hour trip. Listen to the captain and crew, they are good at what they do. They want you to have a good time and want you to catch fish!
Brannon Howell
Don’t bring spray sunblock, it can damage the boat and makes the deck too slippery. Plan to get wet!!
Kimberly Mutter
Definitely book with Old Town Charters. Captain Keith knows the best spots and how to catch anything.
Anita Frady
Do it. Make sure you get the prescription sea sickness patch or get some over the counter if you have never been out in the ocean . Then all you need to do is have fun.
Michele Moorehead
Just be careful about wave conditions. We had a rocky day but per Captain Clay’s recommendation of sea sickness patches definitely helped.
Tristan Fay
Don’t have your heart set on a specific fish. Just get out there and trust your captain to put you in a good position to catch something. After all, they do it every day and know what’s best.
Kyle Bell
Be sure to pack some drinks and snacks and plenty of sunscreen. If you go shark fishing, they fight very hard so be strong.
Bobbie Spamer
If you’re hoping for bigger fish, wait until June when it’s red snapper season. We brought home 19 pounds of vermilion snapper
Joe Wietharn
Check the weather. Try to schedule a day that the water is calm. Definitely choose a private trip.
Kelli Jones
Great trip! A excellent time for first time shark fisherman looking to experience something different and catch a big one!! Also a family friendly for all ages.
