If you're planning a trip to Florida, consider booking your fishing excursions through Fishing DJ Charters. Captain Philip Rainey will ensure you have a memorable day out on his boat, providing an enjoyable and safe experience. Come fishing with Captain Philip and let the fish take care of themselves! You will cruise the area aboard a 33' long Grady White 326 Canyon, a 2020 model center console. The boat can accommodate up to 4 passengers at a time and has two Yamaha engines with the combined ability to reach 43 knots in speed. With twin 16-inch Garmin fish finders and sonar, you will have the complete fishing experience. Outriggers are also available for trolling, allowing you to cover more ground and increase your chances of success. With this vessel, you will be able to travel from one exciting location to another in no time. Fish are available to be caught all year round, but some species aren't always in season. So it's a good idea to ask the crew which fish you should target at certain times of the year. The day will be spent going after Red snapper, Mangrove snapper, Mahi Mahi, Groupers, and triggerfish. You'll also target Amberjack, Cobia, and King Mackerel. The charter covers areas in both shallower and deep waters, including reefs and shipwrecks. These diverse habitats provide ample opportunities for an exhilarating fishing experience. You won't need to purchase a fishing license. Everything you'll need for your trip, including gear, lures, and bait, will already be on the boat when you arrive at your destination. The crew provides bottled water for refreshments, and you can use the onboard toilet for your convenience. Families with children are welcome, and special arrangements have been made to make your trip more comfortable. If you catch a fish, the crew will help clean and package it for you to take home as a delicious souvenir of your adventure.
