Captain Pete's Fishing Charters Overview About

Your captain is Pete Ide. He has been fishing area waters working charters since 1981 at the age of 13. He has been a US Coast Guard licensed captain since 1986. From 1981-1993 he worked as a mate and then a captain for Scheible’s Fishing Center, a local company which had several boats. In the spring of ’93 he bought his first boat, a 44-foot wooden boat, the Fish ‘N’ Fun, which was 33 years old when he bought it. It was old and slow, but fish were plentiful and business was good so he bought the Pelican new in 1998 and finished it that spring. It’s been a great boat up to this point.

The Pelican is a 40-foot custom bay built-style boat. It is powered by a 420-hp Caterpillar diesel engine and has a top cruising speed of 17 knots. It was built in 1999 so it’s still relatively new. It is equipped with radar (essential for navigation in fog and darkness), GPS, fish finder, VHF and CB radios. It is Coast Guard inspected annually (boy can those guys be picky) and is licensed for 17 people on the Bay and 6 on the Ocean.

We do several different kinds of fishing. We troll, jig, bottom fish, live bait fish and sometimes, when we’re desperate beyond words, we chum. The method we use is determined primarily by the fish and what’s best to catch them. When you book your trip, tell us if you prefer a certain method and we’ll tell you the best time of year to have the best shot at being able to catch fish your favorite way. In the end though, we just try to put fish in the boat any way we can.

One of the most popular things we do is swimming live spot for rockfish and bluefish. It’s very exciting (not for the spot). Ask Capt. Pete about it and give it a try!

Capt. Pete has been doing this seemingly forever. He has lots of great stories from days gone by to entertain you on your way to and from the fishing grounds! He is friendly and outgoing when the fish are biting. When they’re not, you may want to stay on the back of the boat and fish harder!
