Scroll down for the most frequently asked questions that we get.
Can I pay you to take me fishing?
F/V Whippersnapper is a private, professional fishing vessel with experienced anglers. We are not for-hire. While we do have guests join us a lot, fishing with us requires a personal invitation. No googans or slides allowed. Commercial yellowtailing is not for pretty people or the faint of heart.
Can you recommend a guide or charter to take me fishing?
Absolutely! We have two trusted Captains that we highly recommend. Send us a message through the contact form and we will put you in touch with both of them.
Do you use braided line?
Amanda despises braided line. While it is on our big kingfish rod and reel, she does not like braid and its not on any other rods and reels.
What do you do with the bonito you catch?
We process it for treats for our rescued working dogs. Freeze dried, dehydrated, or flash boiled makes an excellent reinforcer for working dogs.
Do you see a lot of sharks?
Inshore shark populations are thriving. The most common sharks that we see (daily) are lemon and bull sharks. Occasionally a tiger shark will pass through our chum slick and a hammerhead as well. In March, we were stunned to have two different white sharks circling us on the same day.
