The only thing that may be required by a client is a Florida Fishing License. Please see question about Florida Fishing License to see if you are required to have one prior to the guide.

Unfortunately, we do NOT allow clients to use their own equipment during the guide. However, they are more than welcome to bring their equipment to use AFTER the guide is over.

Yes, clients are able to keep any fish that are in season and fall under the current regulations. The guide will let the clients know when fish are able to be kept. (Client must bring supplies to take fish with them, i.e, cooler, bags, ice, etc.)

Unfortunately, we do not offer a fish cleaning service, however we have a map linked to show local restaurants that will clean and cook any fish caught the same day. Please call ahead to the restaurant to confirm they have availability that day.

Only the max amount of members that were booked can participate. There can not be any switch out from one person to another any time during the guide due to liability reasons.

Clients will be notified by their guide no later than 6AM or 3PM, depending on which time slot was booked, the day of a trip if a cancellation is required due to weather or emergency. There is a 100% refund if the guide cancels. If the client must cancel the guide, if it is more than 48 hours, the client receives a full refund of any money paid. If it is less than 48 hours in advance the client forfeits the deposit paid. If less than 24 hours in advance, the client forfeits FULL AMOUNT for the guide paid.

Yes, a guide can be done at a rental, but only if the rental agreement allows it. Please keep in mind that if the area of where the rental is located does not have a lot of fish biting, that the guide may have to move locations. The locations can be further away than what may be wanted. Please look at our location map to see if your rental is anywhere near one of our locations that we start our guides.

Ideally, the client would want to wear clothing they would not be upset getting wet and/or dirty in. There may be a chance to hold anything we catch and fish are not necessarily “clean”. We recommend wearing weather appropriate clothing as well. All clients, male and female, must wear a shirt and bottoms such as swim shorts or athletic shorts at all times.

If the client would like to bring anything to sit on or to eat or drink for the duration of the guide they are more than welcome too, but alcohol is NOT permitted on ANY Volusia County beach. We would also recommend a towel and possibly a change of clothes, but that is up to the clients’ discretion.

Florida Residents under the age of 16 or over the age of 65 DO NOT require a license to fish. Florida Residents between the ages of 16-64 are REQUIRED to obtain a valid Saltwater Fishing License or they must obtain a “No-Cost Resident Recreational Saltwater Shoreline Fishing” license. Non-residents who are 16 years of age or older are required to have a “Florida Saltwater” license to participate in ANY saltwater fishing. Out-of-state fishing licenses are not valid in Florida.

Tipping is not required by any client but is greatly appreciated by any guide.

Alcohol is NOT permitted on ANY Volusia County beach. 

Unfortunately, we do not allow any personal animals to be present during any guide session. Certified working service dogs are allowed as long as their handler is present. 

No experience is needed to be a part of this experience as this is a learning and having fun experience. We welcome all anglers no matter experience level. 

“If we were guaranteed to catch fish, it would be called “catching” not “fishing”. Unfortunately, there is a possibility of not catching anything at all but, it is the guide’s goal to try and help our clients catch whatever could be out there. The guide will use their knowledge and expertise to decide when there needs to be movement on the beach to get to a good spot to catch fish if the one originally set up is not producing any catch. 

We HIGHLY recommend our clients get to the parking lots 15 min before scheduled guide time to be able to pay for parking and make their way towards where our guide has them set up at the beach. This also allows for introductions and a minor safety briefing before casting the lines into the water. 

We have selected certain areas for our guides to start at that have ADA, shower, and restroom access for our clients. 

Live bait will be used only seasonally to target certain fish species. It will not be available at every charter. 

Unfortunately, anyone under the age of 5 is not allowed to participate in the guide but is more than welcome to hangout and still have fun with everyone else!
