Nothing beats a proper fishing getaway where you can actually unwind and focus on what matters – landing fish and cold drinks with good company. This private 5-day package at Weeki Wachee gives you and two buddies the perfect setup for a coastal fishing retreat that starts at 6 PM and runs through five solid days of angling action. We're talking surf fishing, inshore opportunities, comfortable cottage stays, and all the gear you need without the hassle of packing half your garage. From March through August, when the Gulf waters are prime and the fish are hungry, this trip delivers exactly what serious anglers want: quality time on the water with professional guidance and zero logistics headaches.
Your adventure kicks off with evening surf fishing – there's something special about casting lines as the sun drops and the fish start moving in the cooler water. We'll set you up with proper surf rods and fresh bait while you settle into the rhythm of coastal fishing. The first night includes camping right near the action, so you're literally steps from prime fishing spots when dawn breaks. After that solid start, you'll move into our cozy cottage for the remaining four nights, giving you the best of both worlds – that authentic outdoor fishing experience followed by comfortable beds and proper facilities. Each morning starts with a hot breakfast of eggs, bacon, and grits to fuel up before hitting different fishing spots around Weeki Wachee's productive waters. Our guides know exactly where the fish are holding based on tides, weather, and seasonal patterns, so you're not wasting time guessing.
We've got you covered with quality rods, reels, and tackle specifically chosen for this area's fishing conditions. Surf fishing here means medium to heavy action rods that can handle the casting distance and fight from bigger inshore species. You'll be using circle hooks with live bait like shrimp and cut bait, plus some artificial lures when the situation calls for it. The vessel portion of your trip opens up different opportunities – we can run to nearshore structure, work the grass flats, or target specific species based on what's biting best during your dates. Techniques vary from bottom fishing for bigger predators to sight casting when we spot cruising fish in clear water. Everything from terminal tackle to coolers and ice is included, so you can focus on reading the water and perfecting your hooksets rather than worrying about logistics. Our guides will adjust the approach based on conditions and what the group wants to target most.
Barracuda are absolute blast to catch in these waters, especially during the warmer months when they're actively feeding in the shallows. These silver rockets can reach 3-4 feet and provide some of the most exciting fights you'll experience on light tackle. They're ambush predators that hit fast and jump like crazy, making every hookup a real event. Best fishing for cuda happens early morning or late afternoon when they're hunting baitfish near structure or grass edges. What makes them so popular with anglers is their aggressive nature – they'll hit both live bait and lures with serious attitude.
Cobia are the heavyweight champions that serious anglers dream about. These brown sharks of the inshore world can push 20-40 pounds and fight like absolute tanks once hooked. Peak season runs from April through June when they're moving through coastal waters, often following rays and sharks. Cobia are sight fishing opportunities at their finest – watching a 30-pound fish cruise just under the surface, then making the perfect cast is what fishing memories are made of. They're curious fish that will investigate boats and baits, giving skilled anglers multiple chances if you don't spook them on the first approach.
This private 5-day fishing package delivers everything serious anglers want without the usual planning headaches. Professional guidance, quality gear, comfortable accommodations, hot breakfast each morning, and access to some of Florida's most productive inshore fishing grounds from March through August. The 3-person limit keeps it intimate and ensures everyone gets plenty of rod time and individual attention from your guide. With everything from sleeping bags to bait included, you just need to show up ready to fish. These extended trips book up fast during peak season, especially for the prime spring and early summer dates when the fishing is absolutely on fire. Give us a call to lock in your dates and get ready for five days of serious coastal fishing action.
