Big Easy Fishing Charters

Big Easy Fishing Charters is a private fishing charter based in Sebastian, Florida, operated by Captain Terry Wildey. The business is built around offshore and deep-water fishing, with additional options for inshore and reef trips depending on conditions and goals for the day. Big Easy Fishing Charters limits trips to a maximum of six passengers, keeping groups manageable and allowing the focus to stay on fishing rather than crowd control.

Captain Terry brings nearly five decades of experience fishing Florida’s east coast, along with time spent fishing in the Bahamas, Cuba, Mexico, Costa Rica, and other blue-water destinations. That background shows in how trips are run. Offshore outings regularly push into deeper water, where trolling and deep dropping are the primary techniques. Anglers target species such as dolphin, wahoo, tuna, sailfish, grouper, and snapper, with reef and wreck trips working structure in depths up to roughly 90 feet. For anglers interested in something more specialized, Big Easy Fishing Charters also offers dedicated shark fishing trips on longer seven and nine hour runs.

Trips are offered as half-day, three-quarter day, and full-day options, with longer trips opening up access to blue-water trolling and deep dropping beyond 100 feet. The charter is all-inclusive in terms of fishing gear and setup, with guests only needing to bring food, drinks, and a cooler for the day. Alcohol is permitted, with the expectation that it is consumed responsibly. What stands out about Big Easy Fishing Charters is its clear emphasis on deep-water fishing and offshore experience, making it a solid choice for anglers who want to fish beyond the nearshore and spend real time working productive blue water rather than staying close to the beach.
