What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Sebastian, Florida for the first time?

Our party of 5 adults had a great time. We even caught a very large trout and a shark! Lots of Mutton and other varieties of fish. The captain was personable, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced. We had dinner at Sebastian Saltwater, also a recommendation from the captain, and it was excellent. An overall memorable experience!

Be patient with the weather and have additional days available in case your first choice does not work out.

Charter fishing is great as well as pier fishing, surf fishing is a little difficult with the gradual beach. March and April seem to be good times of the year.

July isn't the best month, but Captain Eric made it an enjoyable half-day searching for signs of fish and learning about the area's eco issues and treasure-hunting history.

If it's slow, make sure you have a Captain who will happily take you to different mangroves and structures to improve your chances. We did in Captain Shane Trottier.

If you can’t go in a flats boat or in a boat that weather allows in the Atlantic, don’t go!!!

I recommend taking a charter a few times to get some tips and tricks for fishing in a new area

Was a little tough fishing because of a cold front, can’t control Mother Nature.

Waters can be a bit choppy. A bit better in April/May. But the fish still bite well.

Be prepared to accept not going out into the ocean and still having a great day!

Try a charter and go with the professional. It's a lot better then a quite day at sea.

Definitely go on a guided trip... the knowledge of the Captains make the day much more productive.
