Warm waters and lots of scallops. Take your time and look for them in the moss and grass. Search for the white shells and blue eyes.

Be prepared for the heat. We are Floridians and knew what to expect, but for those not familiar with the weather here in Florida it can really catch you by surprise. And if your guide supplies bottled water like ours did, take advantage of it as there is nothing worse than getting dehydrated. Also use sun protection, either by using clothing or sunscreen because nothing worse than becoming a lobster person.

I highly recommend booking with Captain Justin Williams, we caught so much fish and had a blast. Captain Justin asked us what we wanted to catch and took us to the hot spots, showed us fishing techniques and shared stories. He even described the surrounding, it was like we were on a tour and not just fishing. We saw dolpins and manatees. It was so fun, we are definitely booking again.

Here in the state of Florida fishing is a year-round sport. With that being said, you are not always guaranteed to catch fish, but I can guarantee that you will have a great experience. I would also suggest that you check the weather and make sure that you dress appropriately because Florida can be hot and you never know what a rainstorm might just pop up.

Definitely find a charter with the weather always changing it’s hard to surf fish unless you have a boat then just fish the docks in the bay side

As far as inshore, you may not catch the biggest fish, but the smaller ones are still fun to reel in and you might get lucky and still catch a nice fish…

Expect the weather to change plans for what you’re fishing for. Be flexible if you can’t go after your target species and be ready to catch something different!
