Our trips are based on the Intracoastal Waterway meandering through and around Jacksonville Beach, Florida. The Intracoastal Waterway is a marine oasis where fresh-water rivers meet the Atlantic Ocean. This mix of freshwater and saltwater - also called brackish water — provides a welcoming ecosystem for the dolphins, turtles, stingrays, sharks, and birds that call Jacksonville home. We even see some raccoons and the occasional marsh mink!

Yes! We have a wide variety of gear and will match the equipment to the skillset - and desired challenge - of each angler.

If you prefer to bring your own gear, please do! Let us know what you’ll be bringing to help pack the boat efficiently.

“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.” - Alfred Wainright, A Coast to Coast Walk

Unless the US Coast Guard or your Guide determines that conditions are unsafe, we will proceed with the trip as planned.

If the weather or water conditions are deemed unsafe or unsuitable for fishing, your guide will discuss next steps which may include rescheduling. Our priority is a fun, safe trip, so please contact us with any further questions.

Spin rods have a locking mechanism controlling the line. To cast the line, the angler holds down a button to unlock the line then uses a swinging motion to propel the lure and line out of the reel. Heavy lures with large hooks help pull line out of the reel as you cast. After casting, the angler re-engages the line-locking mechanism to control the amount of line out.

Fly rods put the angler in control of the line. Fly rods rely on the weight of the line to cast rather than a heavy lure. Before you cast, the angler pulls out the amount of line you think you needs to hit a targeted distance. Using small sections of the already-released line, the false-cast builds momentum to send the line further out.

A false-cast swings the line without letting the fly (the “bait” or hook) hit the water. This allows the angler use the weight of the line to build tension and momentum for the fly to hit the water in a natural, enticing way.

After the angler casts, there may be more released line than wha was used. To control the line, you will pull the line in with your hands - also called stripping - rather than reeling in the line using the reel’s handle.

While a picture-perfect cast can be difficult to manage, the most difficult aspect of fly fishing is “setting the hook.” To “Set” the hook, the angler pulls  creating tension on the line to allow the hook to sink into the fish as soon as it bites the hook.

The best way to learn the difference will be trying it out! Both types of rods will be supplied by your guide.

We will be searching for the resident Red Fish (a.k.a Red Drum) that feed near oyster beds. Depending on the season and weather, it is possible to also find tarpon, snook, flounder, seatrout, and many more species! Searching for a specific “white whale"? Send us a message with what you are hoping to catch, and we will suggest the best timing to find your fish.

We suggest bringing sun protection layers as well as rain gear. Weather can change quickly on the water, so we encourage utilizing the boat’s dry-storage to hold the gear that brings you peace of mind. Drinking water will be provided by your guide. A cooler will be provided if you would like to bring your own food and alcohol.

We recommend bringing:

• Sunscreen

• Hat  — with a strap or buff / neck gaiter for the wind

• Rain jacket — helps with the wind too

• Waterproof shoes — sunburned toes hurt & the boat deck gets hot

• Snacks / lunch — meals can be an optional addition to your trip. Alternatively, a cooler will be provided for guests’ use.

• No glass is permitted on the water/boat; please ensure all containers are aluminum, silicon, or other glass alternatives
