Who is Ready for an Amazing Summer Fishing Trip?!
Summer is here! (Just imagine Olaf from “Frozen” singing “Summmeerrrr!!!!”) This can only mean one thing: it’s time to get outdoors! Put down your devices, turn off your screens, and look up at the wonderful world around you. Wherever your family is traveling to this summer, we encourage you to have at least one outdoor recreational activity planned. Hiking, camping, horseback riding, catching a baseball game, swimming, boating - anything goes! Of course our top recommendation is a fishing charter near your vacation spot.
Alaska wilderness is in some places completely untouched by civilization - and therefore breathtaking and beautiful. Words can’t describe some of the astounding and awe-inspiring places we’ve seen while vacationing in Alaska. Your Alaska family vacation can include hiking, hunting, camping, horseback riding, and fishing - all in one trip! Our favorite place for Alaskan fishing charters is in : You have river fishing in the Kenai River, arguably one of the best places to fly fish for Rainbow Trout; or inshore fishing in the bay. There are also the luxury Alaskan Vacations: if you’re in Sitka check out this amazing option! No matter where or how you vacation in Alaska, get ready to fish for Trout, Salmon, Steelhead, Halibut and more.
This SW Florida island is known as the “Shelling Capital of the World” with over 250 different varieties of shells spotted on its shores. There’s even The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum where families can learn more about shells and the animals that once called them home. Another favorite outdoor outing while visiting Sanibel Island: the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge where you can find more than 200 species of birds. Neighbors with Fort Myers and Cape Coral, the fishing in is pretty spectacular. Whether you’re looking for flats/backcountry, inshore, or offshore fishing - you’ll find that the fishing charter options in Sanibel are abundant. And the trophies to be caught here are just as abundant: you can fish the offshore pelagic species of Mahi Mahi, Marlin, billfish, and more - or the inshore/flats species of Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, just to name a few. Half days or full days - Sanibel Island fishing is always a good time!

If you love the beach, you’ll love the stretches of coastline called the Outer Banks in North Carolina. And with all that coastline, comes a “whole lotta” fishing opportunities. The Outer Banks are barrier islands found off the East Coast of North Carolina. It’s more than 200 miles of land with water on either side. The cities along the Outer Banks include Hatteras, Nags Heads, and Kitty Hawk. These are all great fishing vacation spots. The fishing in the is varied - if you go on the west side of the islands (closer to the mainland) you’ll get the brackish waters of the sounds and much calmer waters. On the east side you have the Atlantic Ocean and a variety of fish species available. Both are great for fishing, which is why we tend to spend a few days on the water while we’re vacationing and fishing in the Outer Banks. And with the added bonus of catching fresh dinner, it’s a real adventure for any outdoor-loving family!
