Addicted to Scales and Tail welcomes you to the stunning waters of the Emerald Coast. With Captain Hoover at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Jack Crevalle, and more – with any luck, you’ll hook into a few! You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Hoover also offers fly fishing, and you may bring your own fly gear if you want to, however, fly fishing gear is on hand on the boat as well.

Trips with Addicted to Scales and Tail are fun for all ages, so get ‘em offline and onto the water! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

Your boat for the day is a 24’ Ranger Bay boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, 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 show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. It’s never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is not allowed.
