Kayak Fishing Trips
This area has some fine fishing destinations, as well, and if you are so inclined, a day's kayak fishing can be just the ticket. The launch area will depend on what's biting and where. Give me a call 941 255-3686 or email me if you're interest in getting a line wet.
I'll provide the kayaks, paddles, PFDs and live shrimp - if you require tackle, let me know. I can also provide a nice lunch for the trip, if you wish. You should bring what you want to drink. The cost is $90 for the first angler and $50 for additional anglers. For more info, drop us an email.
