Join Captain Kicen on an exciting inshore fishing excursion where you’ll have the chance to reel in some of Florida’s most flavorful and tenacious fish. Explore some of Captain Kicen’s preferred hidden backcountry spots, largely untouched by modern development, spanning Volusia, Flagler, and St. Johns Counties. Navigate through brackish waters, winding creeks, and lush marshlands that serve as prime habitats for prized species including Redfish, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, Snook, Tarpon, Flounder, Mangrove Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, and Sheepshead. With Captain Kicen's keen understanding of the local waters, you can trust he knows exactly where the fish are biting.
Your fishing experience takes place aboard a 16′ 4″ Ankona Copperhead, outfitted with state-of-the-art electronic fish-finding technology, a quiet yet powerful Evinrude 60 single motor for a stealthy approach, and a wireless trolling motor—all designed to enhance your fishing success.
Everything you need is provided on board, including all necessary gear, lures, and live bait. The charter’s Florida fishing license covers all anglers, and when regulations permit, you’re welcome to keep your catch. Captain Kicen will gladly clean and bag your fish at no additional cost. Families and children are warmly welcomed to join in this adventure.
If you prefer, feel free to bring your own bait, tackle, rods, and reels—there’s nothing quite like landing your next personal record with your own equipment. Don’t forget to pack polarized sunglasses, a hat, sun protection, plus any snacks and beverages you’d like to enjoy on board.
Captain Kicen offers convenient pick-up locations from St. Augustine down to Daytona Beach, ensuring easy access to your unforgettable fishing trip.
