Inshore Flats, Saltwater Light Tackle and Fly Fishing (1-4 anglers)
Some of Florida's finest saltwater fishing occurs in the southwest. This area of Florida has some of the best backcountry and flats fishing in the state, using light tackle or fly fishing is angling at its best. Florida's extensive network of bays, mangrove islands and tidal creeks that permeate the region, presents angling challenges to the accomplished angler as well as the novice. There are thousands of miles of shoreline, oyster bars and acres of sea-grass flats that attract an abundance of saltwater fish. The canals, bridges and numerous boat docks that also populate our area, present their own unique fishing challenge to every angler. Our inshore staff specializes in local angling hotspots from Boca Grande, Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, Lemon Bay, Sarasota Bay, and north to Tampa Bay. Our inshore charters offer you and your guests memories that last a lifetime.
Roaming these waters are four of Florida's most sought after game fish: the Tarpon, Snook, Redfish and the Spotted Sea Trout. Thousands of anglers come to southwest Florida each year for the chance at a Grand Slam, catching a fish of each species in a single day. In addition to the fishing, Florida's wildlife helps to provide an extraordinary aesthetic experience. Birds of prey, bald eagles and ospreys as well as wading birds commonly observed include snowy egrets, reddish egrets, great blue herons, white and snowy ibis, and roseate spoonbills. Dolphins and manatees are usually seen on almost every trip.
Offshore Fishing (1-6 Anglers)
Our world class crew of offshore captains offers the best in deep sea action. Trips range from 10 to 100 miles from land, depending on price. Expect to catch your limit of offshore game fish and get a work out reeling in the big ones. Grouper is the number-one target in our local waters. Goliath grouper up to 400 pounds is not uncommon while fishing with the Tail Chaser Fleet.
