Intentional Fishing Charters

Family-Friendly Saltwater Fishing trips!

From Backwater Creeks to Deep Sea Fishing, Intentional Fishing is the most versatile fishing charter in the area!  Both AM and PM trips are available for Bay or Gulf Fishing.

All gear and licenses are provided.  All you need to bring are some snacks and drinks.  Climb aboard for a fun-filled day on the water!

Target a variety of aggressive saltwater fish including:
Snappers, Mackerel, Redfish, Triggerfish, Grouper, Tuna, Seatrout, Sharks, and more!

Types of fishing may include:
Bottom Fishing, Trolling, Live Bait, Cut Bait, Chumming, Heavy Tackle, Light Tackle, Artificial Lures, Jigging, and Drifting.

Captain Alex Hensley is the owner and operator.  He ensures every part of your experience is fun and comfortable.  Using quality equipment and gear, you can only expect a world-class fishing experience!

The vessel is a 25-foot Skeeter Center Console.  This boat is extremely versatile and is just as capable in the bay as it is offshore in the Gulf!  She’s powered by an ultra-reliable 300 HP Yamaha Four Stroke outboard and can reach speeds of 50 Knots!

Equipment on the boat includes:
Fiberglass T-Top, Yamaha 300HP motor, 112 lb thrust Minn Kota i-Pilot trolling motor, Simrad 12” Evo 3 GPS/Fishfinder, dual 10’ Power-Pole shallow water anchors, custom Aqua Traction foam decking.

In the Bay, you’ll be in protected and CALMER WATERS.  Enjoy a relaxing morning or afternoon pursuing elusive predator fish like Redfish, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, or Black Drum.

In the Gulf, venture to open waters for an ACTION-PACKED rod bending experience!  Expect to pull on fish like Bonito, Snappers, Groupers, Mackerel, Triggerfish, and much more!

Your SAFETY is the highest priority for Capt. Alex and each guest will receive a safety briefing before leaving the dock. 

Safety gear includes Life Vests, First-Aid Kit, VHF Radio, Fire Extinguisher, all required Coast Guard equipment, and an EPIRB (emergency GPS beacon)
