WHAT TO EXPECT
You can expect to have a wonderful time with a knowledgeable guide in a beautiful coastal environment on a smooth riding very shallow draft fishing boat. The guide will put you in the best places to catch redfish, trout, flounder, sheepshead, black drum, jack crevalle, tarpon, mackerel, triple tail and blacktip or spinner shark. He will do his best to teach you new techniques, show you cool spots and will never give up. Captain Cooley will try to make this trip to POC a memory you will never forget. On every trip we will see something special like fish schools, dolphin, birds, gator, hogs, or deer that makes the day unique.
Cooley will call or text you the evening before the trip. We will either meet at Froggies Bait Dock at 7 am or agree upon the meeting location prior to the charter. We can fish the entire time or, if you’d like, we can head to the beach for the last hours of the trip. When we get back to Froggies, Capt. Cooley or a Dock Hand will clean your fish and give you advice on how to cook it. We can also point you in the direction of one of POC’s local restaurants.
Remember this is your vacation. Blue Heron Guide Service specializes in all types of fishing and good times. Just let us know what we can do to help.

BOTE SUP
Blue Heron Guide Service is excited to announce a new package for adventurous anglers. Bote paddle boarding in the back country! This is the ultimate experience in bay fishing. Imagine casting to a tailing redfish, seeing it eat then watching the entire fight in shallow clear water. The environment that will surround you while holding your beautiful redfish will make the feeling even better. It’s relaxing and peaceful yet exciting and intense all at once.
The Ultra Cat will take the boards to the back lakes with all the gear we need for the day. Then you and a partner can explore deeper into the marsh. There you will sight cast to reds using light tackle or fly gear. Captain Cooley will be following on his board to guide you through the marsh, offering all the advice possible to be safe and successful.
It starts with a patient stealthy approach. Crashers, tailers, cruisers, and laid up fish will be the targets at close range. Bonus fish are also working among the redfish. A gentle accurate presentation followed by a smooth hookset and you’re on! A cold drink, some lunch, then it’s on to the next one. A typical day could be one big spot or three smaller spots. If the weather changes or you need a break, we can do some boat or wade fishing.
Nothing is more challenging, which makes this the most rewarding feeling in fishing. These boards are quiet, shallow and a smooth ride. However, it will take an experienced angler to master the board and a fly rod at the same time. Please understand that this trip is intended for experienced anglers and paddlers.
Give Capt. Cooley a call to discuss all the trip options and answer any questions you may have. Like all the trips at Blue Heron POC Guide Service, we can customize your day and go with the flow.
