Back Water Fishing Charters
The captains listed below work closely with the BFC to provide exceptional fishing experiences for our members. The club arranges a full season (November to May) of trips with these captains.
A few weeks prior to each trip members receive an announcement of the specific trip and have the opportunity to sign up at that time. For back water charters, the club books only three (3) anglers per trip for each captain scheduled. BFC members also have the opportunity to make their own arrangements for alternate dates with these captains.
Each captain maintains the required fishing license to cover all anglers and provides all the necessary fishing tackle and bait for the targeted fish. Anglers should bring sunscreen (no spray), boat shoes or sneakers (not sandals), polarized sunglasses, and a snack.
Although most captains will provide water, we recommend taking your own just in case. Some trips may be “catch and release”, based on water quality and the discretion of the captain.
