ITINERARY
We start by going over what's in your tackle box. What kind of fish you want to target? and what kind of tackle and bait do you need. We show you basic knots, tying leader to braid or mono. We look at the Top Spot Chart and show you how to read it.
This lesson comes with our compendium book, BOAT FISH LIVE written by Capt. Brian Branigan. It includes the motor boat lesson, a sailing overview, and fishing guide to the Keys.
The lesson takes place at 33000 Overseas Highway on Big Pine Key on our 23' center console Bulls Bay motorboat. We'll also offer to come to you and use your boat or rental boat ($100 per hour travel time, e.g., Key Largo +$200).
We also offer: Hands-on Boating, and local / backcountry navigation 101 lessons. You will gain lots of confidence from what you learn too – guaranteed. Makes a great gift!
