About Your Trip
Join Captain Michael in Matlacha, Florida for an unforgettable inshore fishing adventure through some of the most scenic and productive waters in Southwest Florida! With over 20 years of local fishing experience, Captain Michael is passionate about sharing his knowledge and getting you hooked up on some of Florida’s favorite inshore species.
You'll be casting from a 17’ center console powered by a reliable 90HP Yamaha, perfect for navigating the tight mangrove-lined channels and shallow
flats. Outfitted with a livewell for fresh bait and an ice box for your drinks and catch, the boat is comfortable, safe, and ideal for groups of up to 4 anglers.
Your target? The legendary Florida Inshore Slam: Snook, Redfish, and Spotted Seatrout. Along the way, you might also reel in Mangrove Snapper and other hard-fighting species. Captain Michael specializes in light tackle fishing using popping corks and drift techniques to get the bite going. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, he’ll walk you through the process and tailor the trip to your experience level.
All rods, reels, tackle, bait, lures, licenses, and water are provided. If the opportunity arises, you may even cast net for live bait at no extra charge. At the end of the trip, Captain Michael will clean and fillet your catch so it’s ready to cook for dinner.
This is a perfect family-friendly outing, and kids are more than welcome aboard. Just bring your favorite snacks or lunch and get ready to explore the mangroves, drift the flats, and make memories with Captain Michael on a fun, action-packed half-day on the water!
