Looking to get your little ones hooked on fishing? Captain Chris and his crew at Bay Breeze Sport Fishing have crafted the perfect morning adventure just for young anglers. This private 4-hour charter departs at 8:00 AM and focuses entirely on creating a safe, fun, and memorable experience for up to 6 kids. We're talking nearshore waters that are calm enough for beginners but productive enough to keep the excitement high. Your family gets the whole boat to yourselves – no strangers, no pressure, just pure fishing fun with a crew that knows how to work with kids.
This isn't your typical fishing charter. Captain Chris runs a clean, comfortable 43' Viking that's built for stability and safety – exactly what you want when you've got excited kids on board. The morning departure at 8:00 AM is perfect timing; the fish are active, the weather's usually calm, and you'll be back in time for lunch. We target nearshore waters specifically chosen for their beginner-friendly conditions and consistent action. Think Snapper that'll bend the rod and small Groupers that put up a fun fight without overwhelming young arms. The crew provides child-sized gear so everyone can fish comfortably, plus all the bait, tackle, and licenses you need. No need to worry about cleaning your catch either – that's all included in your $775 trip for up to 6 kids.
Captain Chris sets his young anglers up for success with properly sized equipment that matches their strength and skill level. We're talking light to medium tackle that's responsive enough to feel every bite but forgiving enough for beginners to handle. The crew focuses on simple bottom fishing techniques – drop your line, feel for the bite, and reel 'em up. No complicated trolling patterns or advanced jigging techniques here. The boat's equipped with quality Penn and Shimano reels paired with rods that won't tire out small hands after an hour of fishing. Live bait and cut bait keep things simple and effective. The crew stays right beside each young angler, helping with hook sets, fighting fish, and most importantly, keeping everyone safe around the rails. Circle hooks reduce deep hooking, and the crew handles all the netting and unhooking duties.
Mahi Mahi, also known as Common Dolphinfish, are absolute showstoppers for kids. These bright golden-green fighters jump and run when hooked, creating the kind of action that gets young anglers screaming with excitement. In nearshore waters, you'll typically find smaller school-size Mahi in the 5-15 pound range – perfect for kids to handle but big enough to feel like a real trophy. They're most active during warmer months and love structure like floating debris or weed lines. What makes them special for young anglers is their aggressive feeding behavior and spectacular colors that seem to change right before your eyes.
Great Barracuda bring serious attitude to the nearshore waters, and kids love their prehistoric look and razor-sharp teeth. These torpedo-shaped predators hit baits with lightning speed and make blistering runs that test young anglers' skills. Nearshore 'Cuda typically range from 10-25 pounds, providing enough fight to be exciting without being overwhelming. They're year-round residents in most areas, though they're most aggressive during dawn and dusk periods. Captain Chris and crew handle all the leader work and unhooking – these guys have serious dental work that demands respect. Kids get a huge kick out of seeing those impressive teeth up close.
Atlantic Sailfish represent the holy grail of offshore fishing, but smaller ones occasionally venture into nearshore waters where this trip operates. These magnificent billfish are pure magic for young anglers lucky enough to hook one. Even a small Sail in the 30-40 pound range will jump repeatedly and make long runs that create memories lasting a lifetime. Peak season varies by location, but they're generally most common during cooler months when baitfish concentrate nearshore. The crew knows exactly how to handle billfish safely for both the angler and the fish, ensuring proper release techniques. Landing a Sailfish on a kids' trip is rare but absolutely possible – and when it happens, it changes everything.

Istiophorus AlbicansAtlantic sailfish are the ultimate gamefish - reaching up to 10 feet long but surprisingly light at around 50 pounds average. These blue-gray speedsters cruise tropical waters between 30-65 feet deep, though they'll dive deeper when hunting. You'll spot them by their massive sail-like dorsal fin and that distinctive bill. Winter months in Florida waters are prime time, especially around current breaks and temperature changes. What makes sailfish special is their fight - they'll leap, dive, and put on an aerial show that's hard to beat. They can change colors from blue to black when excited, which is something to see. We troll slow with rigged baits or tease them up for fly fishing. My advice: keep steady pressure but don't horse them - let them run and tire themselves out.
Sphyraena BarracudaGreat barracuda are the speed demons of nearshore waters, reaching up to 35 mph in short bursts. These sleek predators average 2-4 feet but can stretch to 6 feet and over 100 pounds. You'll find them prowling coral reefs, seagrass beds, and mangroves from the surface down to about 65 feet. They're curious fish that hunt mainly by sight, often checking out anything shiny. Spring spawning season brings the best action, though they bite year-round in warmer waters. What anglers love is their explosive initial fight - they'll make blistering runs and sometimes jump clear out of the water. Fair warning though, we usually release these since the meat can cause food poisoning. Pro tip: use a wire leader and landing net - those razor teeth aren't just for show.
Coryphaena HippurusMahi mahi are some of the most colorful fish you'll encounter - brilliant gold sides with electric blue and green backs that put on a real light show when they come out of the water. These fast-growing fish average around 15-29 pounds and 39 inches, but can get much bigger. You'll find them around floating debris, weed lines, and current breaks in warm offshore waters. They're surface dwellers that love to hunt flying fish, so we troll with baits that skip across the surface. Spring through fall gives us the best action when water temps are right. What makes mahi so popular is their strong fight and fantastic table fare - mild, sweet, and firm. My tip: when you hook one, look for others nearby since they often travel in small groups.
