Answers to the questions we hear most before a trip.
Sun protection, polarized sunglasses, a hat, and drinking water. We provide tackle, bait, ice, and license coverage.
Trips are rescheduled or refunded for unsafe weather. Light rain usually doesn't stop a trip — wind and lightning do.
No — our license coverage applies to everyone on board.
Yes. Most of what we do is hands-on instruction, especially for family and half-day trips.
Full refund for weather cancellations. For angler cancellations made more than 48 hours out, the deposit is refundable.
A shallow-draft flats skiff, built to run in less than a foot of water — the same boats used across the Mosquito Lagoon for sight-fishing.
Most trips are set up for up to two anglers for the best fishing experience, with a third sometimes possible depending on the trip type — ask when booking.
Redfish and trout fish well year-round, snook fishing is best from late spring through summer, and winter's clearer, calmer water often makes for the best sight-fishing conditions overall. See our seasonal fishing calendar for a month-by-month breakdown.
Yes, on request for any fish you'd like to keep within legal limits — we can also walk you through current size and bag limits on board.
Yes — most first-time anglers start exactly here. Expect hands-on help with casting, tackle, and technique throughout the trip.
Lightweight, sun-protective clothing, closed-toe shoes that can get wet, and layers for cooler mornings — Florida mornings can start chilly even when the afternoon is warm.
Absolutely, though it's not required — we provide everything needed and are happy to use gear you're comfortable with too.
Snook fishing is best from late spring through summer as water temperatures climb — they're most active and aggressive in the warmer months, and slow down considerably once the water cools in fall and winter.
The Mosquito Lagoon is known for shallow, clear-water sight-fishing — particularly tailing redfish on the grass flats — and for being one of the more protected, lower-pressure fisheries on Florida's east coast thanks to the refuge land bordering much of its northern half.
Yes — Florida requires a separate snook permit in addition to a standard fishing license to harvest one, and snook are subject to slot size limits and seasonal closures. We'll walk you through current regulations on board.
Yes — snook tolerate a wide range of salinity and regularly push well up into brackish and even fully freshwater stretches, especially in cooler months. See our snook fishing guide for more on their seasonal movement.
Florida manages snook with a slot limit (a minimum and maximum keeper length) plus closed seasons, and regulates Atlantic coast and Gulf coast snook separately with their own rules. Exact numbers change, so see our snook fishing guide or FWC's snook page for current limits before keeping one.
