Frequently Asked Questions
Are Lagooner Captains Catch & Release?
The growing attitude of Catch & Release is one of the
most important & popular practices on the water today.
Lagooner captains practice this more often than not but we
occassionally keep fish (within the legal limit) for the table.
We are not a commercial holder of fishing license and do not
believe that guiding and commercial fishing are a good mix.
Do Lagooner Captains use artificial Lures?
Yes, we provide or you can purchase any assortment of lures
that you are interested in using. We endorse weedless spoons
as truly being one of the best redfish lures [red-rippers]
along with an assortment of jerk baits and top water lures.
You will find that our Lagooner guides also use a livebait
extensively.
Do Lagooners fly fish?
Captain Richard Bradley is Lagooner.com's premier fly fishing
guide. He has over 30 years fishing experience around Merritt
Island, Mosquito Lagoon and Cocoa Beach. Captain Richard has
over 15 years experience with a fly rod and can assist you
in casting, fly selection and of course... putting you in
front of fish. Prior to your fishing trip, Captain Richard
will familiarize you with what equipment to bring, what will
be provided and the types of flies you might want to tie or
have made prior to getting on the water. Remember fishing
is a "weather permitting" sport and if there is
too much wind, a fly-fishing trip may be cancelled or turned
into a conventional tackle trip.
Are Food and Water Provided?
Unless requested differently, all charters will be provided
with bottled water. Beer and alcohol are permitted on the
vessel, however if someone becomes intoxicated the Captain
will terminate the charter immediatly without refund for safety
reasons.

Does Lagooner.com Guarantee Fish?
Unfortunately nobody can guarantee that fish will cooperate
all the time. Weather, conditions and fish moods can shutdown
any guides from time-to-time. However.... Lagooner promises
you a great time on the water and a better opportunity with
our experts to fulfill your fishing dream of catching a world
class fish or delicious table-fare.
What kind of Boats will we be using?

fishing in the Lagoon system we have an Action Craft 1820
with built-in coolers live-bait wells and release wells. For
inshore/offshore Action Craft's new line of boats the Coastal Bay 2310 model. This boat is equipped with two oversized bait wells a and all the room and comfort you'll need for a succcessful day of fishing. |
