Island Getaway & Fishing: Best of Both Worlds
Ready for a day that's got it all? Our Private Island Special with Fishing is the real deal. We're talking 8 hours of pure coastal bliss, where you get to call the shots. Whether you're itching to wet a line or just want to kick back on a sandbar, we've got you covered. It's like having your own private slice of paradise, with some killer fishing thrown in for good measure.
What's on the Menu
Alright, here's the lowdown on your day out with us. We kick things off at 10 AM sharp, so grab your coffee and let's roll. First up, we're hitting the water to spot some local celebs – I'm talking about our resident dolphins and manatees. These guys are total hams, always putting on a show. After that, we'll cruise the nearshore waters, soaking in those postcard-worthy views. But the real kicker? We'll set you up on a sweet sandbar that's basically your own private beach for the day. We're talking chairs, umbrellas, snacks – the works. And here's the beauty of it all: you can fish from the boat or the sandbar whenever the mood strikes. It's your day, your way.
Fishing 101: Boat to Beach
Now, let's talk fishing. Whether you're a seasoned pro or haven't held a rod since you were a kid, we've got you. We'll hook you up with all the gear you need, from rods and reels to bait and tackle. Fishing from the boat? We'll show you the ropes on casting, working your lure, and reading the water. If you're more of a beach bum, no sweat. Surf fishing from the sandbar is a blast, and you might just hook into something while you're working on your tan. We're all about keeping it chill, so if you want to switch between boat and beach fishing, or take a break to snorkel or just float around, it's all good.
Fish on the Radar
Let's chat about what's swimming around out there. Our waters are teeming with some real crowd-pleasers, and each one's got its own personality.
Snook: These bad boys are the rock stars of inshore fishing. They're sleek, they're strong, and they put up one heck of a fight. Snook love to hang around structure, so we'll target them near mangroves or under docks. Spring and fall are prime time for snook, but they're around all year. When one of these silver missiles hits your line, hold on tight!
Redfish: Ah, the redfish – or red drum if you're feeling fancy. These copper-colored beauties are a blast to catch. They've got a sweet spot on their tail that looks like an eyeball, which is pretty cool. Reds are bottom feeders, so we'll use some tasty bait to tempt them. They're here year-round, but fall is when they really show up in force. Get ready for some drag-screaming action when you hook one of these guys.
Greater Amberjack: Now we're talking some serious muscle. Amberjacks are like the gym rats of the ocean – all power and stamina. These guys hang out near reefs and wrecks, and they're not afraid to put up a fight. Late spring to early fall is prime time for jacks. If you're looking for a workout, hooking an amberjack is like arm wrestling a bulldozer.
Bonnethead Shark: These little sharks are like the puppy dogs of the shark world. They're smaller cousins of the hammerhead, with a cute, shovel-shaped head. Bonnetheads cruise the shallows, and they're a blast for kids and adults alike. They're around most of the year but really active in the warmer months. Don't worry, they're more interested in crustaceans than fingers!
Bull Shark: Now, if you're after a real adrenaline rush, bull sharks are where it's at. These guys are the tanks of the shark world – stocky, powerful, and always hungry. They can handle both salt and freshwater, which is pretty cool. Bulls are year-round residents, but summer's when they're most active. Landing one of these beasts is like reeling in a Volkswagen – it's an experience you won't forget.
Why Folks Keep Coming Back
Look, I could go on all day about why this trip is the bee's knees, but here's the real deal: it's all about options. Some days you want to fish till your arms fall off, other days you just want to chill with your toes in the sand. With us, you don't have to choose. You get the best of both worlds – serious fishing and serious relaxation. Plus, with room for up to 6 people, it's perfect for family outings, a day with your buddies, or even a unique date (trust me, it beats dinner and a movie).
Time to Get On Board
So, what do you say? Ready to trade in the daily grind for a day of sun, sand, and fish tales? For $650, you're getting a full 8 hours of pure coastal living. Whether you're in it for the fishing, the lounging, or a bit of both, we've got you covered. Spots fill up fast, especially during peak season, so don't sleep on this. Give us a shout, and let's get you out on the water. It's time to make some memories, catch some fish, and come back with stories that'll make your coworkers green with envy. See you on the sandbar!
Learn more about the species
Bonnethead Shark
Redfish are inshore favorites, usually 5-10 pounds but monsters over 40 are possible. Look for their distinctive spot near the tail. You'll find them in super shallow water - sometimes with their backs out of the water! They love hanging around oyster bars, grass flats, and mangroves. These fish are a blast on light tackle. They put up a stubborn fight, often making several strong runs. Sight-fishing for tailing reds in clear shallows is especially exciting. Fall and winter are prime seasons when big schools move into the bays. Try topwater lures early and late in the day for explosive strikes. A gold spoon is another redfish classic. For bait, nothing beats a live shrimp or small crab. Here's a local trick: on calm days, look for pushing water or "nervous" bait. That often means redfish are feeding nearby. Cast ahead of the activity and hang on!
Bull Shark
Greater Amberjack
Greater amberjacks are bruisers, often topping 50 pounds. They're built like torpedoes - sleek and powerful. You'll find them around deep reefs and wrecks offshore. Spring and fall are prime seasons when they're migrating. These fish will test your arms and your gear. They're famous for their stamina and pulling power. Expect a long, grueling fight once you hook up. That's why anglers love targeting them. Live bait is hard to beat - use big blue runners or hardtails if you can get them. Heavy jigging works too. You'll need stout tackle - 50-pound class gear at minimum. Here's a pro tip: when you feel the bite, reel like crazy and lift the rod tip. Amberjacks often swim up when hooked, so you need to catch up fast or risk losing them. The meat is good eating too, just be aware of size limits.
Redfish
Bonnethead sharks are the smallest hammerheads, usually 3-4 feet long. They're pretty shy compared to other sharks - you might spot them cruising in schools near the beach. Look for that distinctive shovel-shaped head. These guys hang out in shallow coastal waters, bays, and estuaries. They love warm water, so they head south to Florida and the Gulf for winter. Summer's your best bet to find them up here. Bonnetheads put up a surprisingly good fight for their size. Light tackle makes it even more fun. Fresh blue crab is the ticket for bait - cut it in half and hook it through a leg. Use at least 20-pound line and a wire leader. These sharks are cool to catch because they're so different from other species. That weird head shape is a real conversation starter. Just remember, they're catch-and-release only in most places. Handle 'em quickly and get 'em back in the water.
Snook
Bull sharks are tough customers, typically 8-12 feet long and 200-300 pounds. These aggressive predators cruise shallow coastal waters but can also live in freshwater. You'll find them from Massachusetts down to Brazil, including the Gulf and Caribbean. They're summer visitors here from June through September. These sharks put up a heck of a fight. Anglers love the challenge and thrill of hooking into one. Float fishing with natural bait works best - whole fish like mullet or cut mackerel. Chumming can really get them fired up. Once they're on the surface, topwater lures or even flies can work. Here's a local tip: try using freshwater eel as bait. The high oil content and tough skin make it irresistible. Just be ready for a battle - bull sharks don't give up easily. Make sure you've got heavy tackle spooled with at least 50-pound line. Safety first when handling these powerful fish.
