Fishing Trips
The Club offers a variety of monthly salt water fishing charters on the East and West coast of Florida. Depending on the trip and conditions this can include trolling, bottom fishing in deep water, and casting on the flats of the Gulf and in the Atlantic Intercostal waters.
On occasions members get together for Pier Fishing on either side of Peninsula of Florida. On this site there is page that contains information on Pier fishing. Please click here.
Trips for current and upcoming months are listed on the website. If you can't make it to a meeting, you can call or email the coordinator of the trip and book it if there is an opening.
All trips must paid for in advance. You can pay at our monthly meetings or use one of the three drop points that are listed below. If you use a drop off point please do not drop-off cash.
Transportation for the Trips
Trips for the Thunder are provided with bus transportation, at a cost of $30 per person, if 20 or more members sign up for a trip on either one of them. If there are less than 20 anglers then carpooling will be used.
All other fishing trips mentioned above use car pools.
Note: Trips are paid for with cash or check. Please make checks out to D.S.F.C. The club does not accept credit cards and encourages members to bring the exact amount if paying in cash. One hundred dollar bills are not welcome unless they are the exact cost of a trip.
