Being so close to the ocean it’s only fitting that we have Fishing Charter options for our locals and tourists.  One of the prominent fishing charter tour companies is, Lane-Leaders.  They offer full-day or multi-day deals for out of town visitors.  They have a lot of fishing enthusiasts/experienced anglers who enjoy their services.  You do not need to bring any gear while visiting our year-round fishing season.  They provide over $5k in professional gear during these trips, all bait, and tackle.  All you need is snacks and sunblock!
