Bent Charters trip with customers Teresa and Elliot had a nice little variety of fish. They were quite the traveling fishing couple! What a fun time with great people. Day started off with a dolphin display on way down inner coastal to Johns Pass bridge. At open water we headed to our bait traps for pulling live bait. Filled up the live well then headed to the spot. In no time at all the poles were hooked up with Grouper. (scamp,red and Gag) A light tackle set up off back of boat was bringing in the Mango (mangrove snapper).
The pole went off and we knew it was no snapper and Elliot manned in the Cobia in video. It was 32 1/2" so it was released.

All in all it was a beautiful day on the water and we made new friends. We truly appreciate the business of each and every charter we run. Thank you to all who have chosen Bent Charters to create the memories they will never forget.

Thanks again Teresa and Elliot ..... see ya next time!

How to choose a Fishing Charter

   There are literally dozens of Charters to choose from. If you are new to the area or visiting you can get caught in the tourist traps. Be sure to do your homework. You are paying good money for someone you dont know to be responsible for your life on the water and for creating a lasting memory. So make an educated decision.

Here are some tips:

• Dont just take their word (Look up reviews on Tripadvisor and other sites)
• Make sure you getting the real price.... some tend to add on for bait or rod rentals.
• Ask how far you are going out. Past 9 miles requires a permit.
• Do they cover your license under their own license?
• Can they guarantee you will catch fish?
• Can they target the type of fish you are wanting? It can be done!

We would love to have your business and confident you would have a blast, but whether you go with us or someone else we want you to enjoy the area and come back again.

Some extra things we offer our customers to set us apart :

• Fresh live bait at no extra cost
• Photography of action (including video at times)
• Catering to kids so that Mom and Dad can fish without worry
• Bagging of fillets and ice for your cooler to get home.
