Charter Prices VS D.I.Y.

Fishing charter prices are often looked at as being high priced. When you take the time to break down the actual bill though, you usually find that you're saving quite a bit of money going with a professional company. (See Chart above) www.poncefishnetwork.com

The chart dictates the average area pricing on a small (under 20ft) skiff on short range (gas included!) trips. Long range trips do not include gas which can significantly impact the billing. Not to mention all of the top of the line gear all of our charter companies offer; which would send this bill skyrocketing into the thousands easily.

At the end of the day the single most important necessity of a productive day on the water is the knowledge of its Captain, an ability not easily recreated in a do-it-yourself fashion.

The Triple Threat Throwdown brought a record-breaking year to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) Catch a Florida Memory program and a big prize to one lucky angler! Laura Nathan-Kadish has been drawn as the Throwdown winner and will receive a Bonafide SS127 fishing kayak fully outfitted with an accessory package from YakAttack and a custom shirt from The Florida Nomad.

To earn her way into this elite raffle, Laura submitted a Snapper Family Grand Slam during the Throwdown period of Jan. 1 through Sept. 5. She earned her Triple Threat Club status in 2020, when she first began participating in the program, and has over 50 submissions to date.

“The Triple Threat Throwdown is an innovative and exciting way to engage and reward our anglers, and we are thrilled with its reception and record-breaking participation,” said Jessica McCawley, Director of the FWC’s Division of Marine Fisheries Management. “We can’t wait to see what next year brings with the second season of the Throwdown!”

Hoping to get in on the action? Don’t worry! Triple Threat Club status is awarded all year long to anglers who qualify in all three Catch a Florida Memory programs. This means the angler has caught a Saltwater Grand Slam, a Saltwater Reel Big Fish and has submitted at least 10 species from the Saltwater Life List. Triple Threat Club members receive cool prizes, such as custom fishing apparel, seasonal prizes and entry into exclusive raffles including the Triple Threat Throwdown 2024, which will run from March 1 through Sept. 5. Keep a lookout for more details early next year!

After winning her second fishing tournament within 5 months, Mila Coco Goldys had won 2 bikes and decided to pay it forward and donated one of her bike prizes to a fellow junior angler, Mason! This pubisher is very proud of Mila she is not only a very smart and kind young lady angler, she is also giving. This is my goal for the Kids Outdoor Days to pay it forward and be appreciative of the blessings we are given each and every day! I am very proud of you Mila! She is also our cover girl for this issue.

Catch a Florida Memory’s saltwater angler recognition program rewards anglers for their fishing efforts while encouraging them to target a diversity of species. Anglers do not have to harvest their fish to be eligible for prizes and are encouraged to use proper fish handling techniques.

We can hunt hogs year round and some of our most productive hunts this past year took place in May, June and July. We have plenty of land now with hogs to be able to hunt large groups, up to 10. We can even accommodate bow groups that large. Hogs are very smart animals, don’t come thinking they are just dumb farm animals. This is a fun hunt for all who just do not want to quit hunting after their deer season closes.

The finest deer, hog, and turkey hunting in the low-country of South Carolina!
