Fishing Charters

	*Fishing Charters* There are many types of charters available - depending on what you would like to catch, how many are in your group, the time of year, and so forth. My best advice is to price your trip and get details on what they have recently caught.

There are numerous options for fishing while staying at the Beach House. It all depends on what you are looking to accomplish. For example, you can:

· fish off one of the local fishing piers,

· charter a fishing trip with a licensed Captain,

· rent your own boat and go fishing with you as the Captain,

· go “inland” for fresh water fishing,

· flats fishing or bottom / shallow fishing is popular,

· deep sea fishing is usually miles out from shore,

· shoreline fishing is right off the coastline, and

· finally you can even fish right off the Beach.

The following link will take you a web site that explains licenses, tackle, types of fish, what you can keep, what you can eat, and much more - it is pretty informative:
