Here are some of the most asked questions by clients.  If I have missed any please feel free to contact me with your question.

What do I need to bring?  Anglers will need to bring sun screen, a good pair of Polarized sunglasses and a snack.  All Tackle, gear and bait are furnished by me.  I also will have a digital camrea on board so if you fgorget yours we can still capture you memories.  I do carry extra pairs of Polarized glasses, so if you forget them I will hook you up.

Where do we meet?  I will either meet you at the boat ramp or pick you up at a pre determined location.  Hotel pickup is available if you are staying with 15 miles of the New Smyrna Beach / Edgewater area.

What time of year is best to book?  Here in Central Florida we have resident schools of gamefish.  That means our fishing is good year round.  The Summer months can be a little hot but the fishing at that time is even hotter. 

How do I book a Charter?  Just give me a call or shoot me a e-mail and we will make it happen.  I will do my best to fit your schedule.  Call 386506-1438 or e-mail shakyscharters@aol.com.

Are children welcome?  Of course!!!! They are our outdoor future and anytime on the water is a great time for a child.  I do ask that only two children per booking because of the size of the boat.


What type of boat and gear will we be using?  Clients will be fishing out of a Mizti Tournament 17 Edition flats boat with Evinrude power. The boat is fully wrapped and sponsored by Mitzi Skiffs.  Tackle for the trip include E21 spinning rods and Shimano Stradic Reels. 

What type of bait will we be using?  Bait choices are left up to the clients preference.  Whether you desire to present a fly, other artificial baits or live bait it's totally up to you.  I will make sugestions on what baits are working best at the time of the charter but I will tailor my style to yours.

Do I have to be an experienced angler to fish?  No we have charters for all angling levels.  My goal is for you to catch fish and have a memorable experience on the water.

Will I get "on the water" instruction?  Yes as we fish throughout the day I will help tune your skills.  I will help with any needs you have.  After all I am out there for you.
