FAQs

Your Questions, Answered by the Captain

What makes fishing in the Everglades different from other parts of Florida?

The Everglades is one of the few places in the world where you can catch both saltwater and freshwater fish in the same day. You might hook a snook in the mangroves, then catch a largemouth bass just a few miles inland. This unique ecosystem makes it a must-visit for serious anglers.

No, you don’t need to bring a thing! Sea n Red Fishing Charters provides all bait, tackle, and gear — including premium rods, reels, and lures. You just show up ready to fish, and we’ll handle the rest.

Depending on your charter, you can enjoy backcountry fishing, flats fishing, saltwater inshore trips, or freshwater canal excursions. Each style offers different challenges and species — from tarpon and snook to bass and redfish.

Absolutely! Our trips are family-friendly and beginner-approved. Captain Erik ensures that everyone — from first-timers to expert anglers — enjoys a safe, exciting day on the water with hands-on help for kids.

Fishing is great year-round, but seasonal changes affect what’s most active. Spring and early summer bring trophy tarpon, while fall and winter are prime for redfish, trout, and sheepshead. We’ll tailor your trip based on current conditions.

Most trips launch from Everglades City or Chokoloskee, exploring back bays, mangrove tunnels, and shallow Gulf waters — all within a short, scenic ride. You’ll spend more time fishing and less time traveling.

Yes, and that’s part of the magic! The Everglades National Park is home to stunning wildlife — from alligators and dolphins to ospreys and manatees. You’ll experience fishing and Florida nature at its finest.

We recommend light, breathable clothing, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat. Bring snacks, drinks, and a camera — the photo ops are incredible. Everything else is included in your charter.

Yes, most species are catch-and-keep depending on state regulations. Captain Erik will help you follow Florida Fish and Wildlife rules, and he’ll clean and bag your catch so you can take it home fresh.

Yes, our charters operate year-round. Summer trips often start early to avoid the afternoon heat, and the boat is equipped with shade, drinks, and all required USCG safety gear for a comfortable experience.
