Make an adventure out of your next trip in Carrabelle and go fishing with Gulf Coast Outfitters.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Flounder, Redfish, Scallop, Blacktip Shark, Spanish Mackerel, Spotted Seatrout, Sunfish, Tripletail, Crappie, and anything else that bites. On these trips, it’s common to troll using light tackle. Capt. John also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Capt. John will bring you aboard a 24’ hybrid Bay boat with room for 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. John will supply rods and reels for you (except for fly fishing equipement), as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip. Fish caught during the trip are yours to take home, so long as they’re within the legal limit. The crew can even clean your catch for you. Have a cooler ready in the car!

You can’t go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
