Question 1

Do I need a fishing license?

Accepted Answer

No. Capt. Arinton is a licensed charter operator, so guests fish under his license. You do not need to purchase your own Florida fishing license to join a trip.

Question 2

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a cooler with drinks and snacks. Wear clothes you don't mind getting sandy and wet. All fishing gear — rods, reels, circle hooks, and bait — is provided.

Question 3

Are kids OK on the trip?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Land-based trips are family-friendly and a great fit for kids. There is no boat, so no seasickness, and the trip pace adjusts to the group.

Question 4

What happens if the weather is bad?

Accepted Answer

We watch the weather closely. If conditions are unsafe, Capt. Arinton will reschedule your trip. Safety comes first, and we will not fish in dangerous weather.

Question 5

Where do we meet?

Accepted Answer

We meet on the beach in the Pensacola area. Capt. Arinton confirms the exact beach access and meeting time by text before your trip.
