Gather up your friends and family for a great adventure on the Gulf of America or inland on beautiful St. Andrews Bay! It’s time to go fishing and cruising! The boats are all spruced up and ready to cruise!
The Head boats and Charter boats are booking fast, especially on weekends, for some great spring fishing. Reserve early! (850) 234-3435 or book online at www.captandersonsmarina.com . Our captains are the best in NW FL with generations of experience and are ready to get you out there to fish! Starting in March, the Head boats and Charter boats will be catching Triggerfish, Vermilion and Black or Mangrove Snapper, Red Grouper, Spanish & King Mackerel, and a variety of jacks (always fun to catch). In addition, Cobia will be coming in soon! The Guide boats will be focusing on Red Drum (or Redfish) as well as Spotted Sea Trout from the local Bay waters.
Capt. Anderson III had great groups on its Valentine’s Day cruises and will start its spring schedule for Shell Island and Dolphin Eco Tours on March 1, leaving at 1 p.m. daily except Sunday. Reserve online or by phone at (850) 234-3435. It is always fun to watch the dolphins play and sometimes they’ll even let you get a glimpse of the young new members of their families. Capt. John and the crew are anxious to share about all the great sea life we have in our area as well as some intriguing historical facts.
