Our Fishing Charters
Inshore fishing
On an inshore fishing charter we can go to the wrecks for bottom fishing for black sea bass and trigger fish, or we can troll along the beach for Spanish Mackerel and bluefish. In late Spring site casting for Cobia is also a possibility.
Gulf stream fishing
On a full day fishing charter we travel about 30 miles out to the bountiful waters of the Gulf Stream. Dolphin, wahoo, tuna, sailfish, trigger, grouper, snapper and seasonal bottom fish can be caught. All of these fish are fun to catch and great to eat.
Fun and Exciting fishing
When you fish aboard the Drum Stick, you can always expect to have a great time. With our experienced and motivated Captain and mate, you will surely have an amazing catch and awesome fishing adventure.
