FAQ

1. Do I need a fishing license?

It depends on where we're fishing. In most areas, you're covered under the boat's license. However, if we're fishing in Everglades National Park Boundaries you need to purchase your own license. We'll let you know in advance. Florida Fishing License Link

We supply all necessary rods, reels, lures, flies, leaders, and tippet. If you have a favorite setup, feel free to bring it.
