About Your Trip

Let’s fish the inshore waters of SW Florida. Trips start at 8:00am but times can be adjusted. Trips usually start at Matlacha park boat ramp but that too can be adjusted. On most trips, live bait is already caught prior to the start of the trip. The boat is a 23’ Key West 230br bay boat. It has all the fishing equipment and electronics needed for a great day.

During the trip, we will target a multitude of species including Snook, Redfish and Speckled Trout. Catch and release fishing is suggested but fish cleaning is available at the conclusion of the trip.

Besides all the fishing essentials, ice and bottled water is also provided. Please bring snacks, sunblock (lotion only), sunglasses and a hat. Wear comfortable clothing shoes. But above all else, be ready to have a great time!
