Florida Tournament Fishing Charters & Info. |
|
Florida Light Tackle Charter Captains, otherwise known as the "Dream Team", are available for tournament charters. Our Captains are highly specialized tournament proven champions in the areas they fish, some of whom, are full time members of professional tournament circuits, which test the skills of anglers throughout the Southeastern United States.
For an individual or team to become successful, Tournament Fishing demands a tremendous investment of time. Scouting, pre-fishing, research, skill and extensive boat & gear preparation are just a few of the ingredients, necessary to spell S U C C E S S.
Our Captains are on the water almost everyday, closely monitoring the game fish movements, weather patterns, tides, and more importantly, the forage patterns.
When hiring "Florida Light Tackle Charters" for a tournament event, it is our responsibility to handle all of the above. We invest our time and resources, so you can increase your odds of taking home a paycheck. All you need to do is prepare a victory speech!
Please contact Capt. Derrick Jacobsen to discuss a tournament strategy with one of our top captains for your next tournament event. Below is a listing of just a few of the events our captains have either competed in, or guided anglers to their qualifying or winning catches.
We are currently entertaining new sponsors for the 2008 & 2009 Yamaha/Ranger and ESPN Redfish Pro Tournament Season. Please contact us for more Information. |
