When you are in Homosassa Florida you get to chose from the huge variety of fisheries that the area provides. That’s why Early Bird Charters can offer trip packages that can excite angler enthusiasts as well as families who want to have an amazing time and perhaps catch a mouth-watering big one. Captain Brandon Huggins will share his considerable experience with you and help you explore the waters. Our trips cater to groups consisting of 4 guests. You’ll be visiting many fishing spots of Homosassa on a Carolina Skiff model from 1998 which was recently restored (2019). The boat is 19ft long and it is equipped with a single Tohatsu engine that can reach speed up to 27 knots. The guests can choose a fishing experience in inshore and nearshore waters along with backcountry, flats, wrecks, and reef locations. You can try your luck with fishing techniques like light tackle, bottom fishing, and drift fishing, just to name a few. Species that you may encounter include Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, Snook, and Black Drum. Families with children are welcome, and our guests who want to have extra activities will be happy to know we offer snorkeling equipment. You can go sightseeing, scalloping, and swimming with manatees! Fishing enthusiasts are covered by our charter’s fishing license, and we provide all the fishing gear, lures, and baits. As an extra treat, we offer drinks on board. People who are looking for some memorable experience along with some fishing action will love Early Bird Charters, so give us a call.

Captain Brandon and Early Bird Charters was the best fishing excursion we have ever been on. Captain Brandon was very knowledgeable and we caught a ton of fish. We would highly recommend this charter to anyone.
