Redfish and snook can be caught throughout the year, while tarpon are typically more prevalent from spring through fall. We can discuss the best timing for your target species when you book.

No, you do not need a fishing license for your trip. I carry a blanket charter license that covers all my anglers. Just bring your enthusiasm and be ready to fish!

Trip pricing varies based on the duration. My half-day trips are designed to give you a great experience without taking up your entire day. Contact me directly for the most current pricing information.
What's included in the trip?
Everything you need for a successful day on the water is included. This means all fishing gear, tackle, bait, and ice. I also provide water, but you're welcome to bring your own preferred drinks and snacks.

Absolutely. I welcome anglers of all skill levels, including beginners and families with children. My goal as a fishing guide is to ensure everyone has a fun and educational experience, no matter their experience level.

We primarily target redfish, snook, and tarpon in the waters around Punta Gorda. Depending on the season and conditions, we might also encounter spotted sea trout, flounder, or other local species.
