Nearshore / Offshore
Bay boat · 6–8 hours · up to 4 anglers, 6 max
The long day. Out the inlet on the 25 Open for six to eight hours, nearshore or offshore depending on what the water's doing and what you're after.
“Recently expanded beyond Mosquito Lagoon. Now offering offshore/nearshore and inland charters out of the East Cape 25 Open.”
Four anglers is the standard; up to six with the extra-angler rate. Same captain who's been reading this coast for 20-plus years.
What to expect
Rick fishes for redfish, seatrout, black drum, snook, sharks, cobia and snapper across his waters; the offshore plan for your day is his call, made honestly, based on conditions. Tarpon are very seasonal and never promised. It's fishing — nothing is guaranteed, and he'll never pretend otherwise.
Rick confirms the exact meeting spot and departure time when he confirms your date.
