Reef Chief Charters, The

The day you’ll remember for a long time begins with a relaxing boat ride up the Pithalachascotee River to the Gulf of Mexico. We pass through about a dozen stilt water homes offshore, one of which was Johnny Cash's favorite place to visit. The 18- to 20- mile ride off the shore is scenic, with dolphins cavorting, sea turtles and a variety of birds. Once we arrive at our destination, the captain will position the boat so the angler is fishing on the ledge. This is where the fishing experience begins. We will target deep-sea species such as grouper, mangrove snapper, cobia, bonito, kingfish, Key West grunt and shark.
