About Your Trip

Get ready to discover the magic of fishing Pine Island, Florida, with Captain Jeff, a seasoned local expert who knows exactly where to go to get you hooked up. Launching out of Charlotte Harbor—one of the Gulf Coast’s most renowned fishing hotspots—you’ll spend the day surrounded by stunning natural beauty and chasing some of Florida’s most iconic game fish. Whether you're after a fast-paced half-day on the flats or a longer six-hour adventure, Captain Jeff will make sure your trip is productive, comfortable, and filled with excitement from start to finish.

You'll be riding in style aboard a custom 24’ Lattife boat built to accommodate up to five anglers. This vessel is thoughtfully equipped with top-tier navigational electronics, an anchoring system to keep you on the bite, and is even wheelchair accessible, ensuring everyone can enjoy a day on the water. With a live bait well, fishfinder, ice box, and all safety gear onboard, you're set up for success and peace of mind.

Captain Jeff specializes in inshore and nearshore light tackle fishing, with trips perfectly suited to anglers of all ages and experience levels. On a four-hour charter, you'll explore the lush waters and vibrant flats surrounding Pine Island, targeting Redfish, Snook, Flounder, Mangrove Snapper, Spotted Seatrout, and even Tarpon. The bite is fast and varied, keeping the action hot and the lines tight. It's the perfect outing for families, beginners, or anyone looking to squeeze some serious fun into a few morning or afternoon hours.

For those who want a little more time on the water, the six-hour trip offers an extended opportunity to track down Florida's finest. With more time to move between inshore honey holes and nearshore structure, your chances of connecting with a hard-fighting Tarpon or dragging a big Redfish out of the mangroves only go up. And thanks to the area’s rich diversity of habitats—from grass flats and backcountry creeks to open bay systems—you’ll always have options no matter the conditions.

All rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait are included, so all you need to bring are your favorite snacks, drinks, and maybe a camera to capture the action. At the end of the day, Captain Jeff will clean and fillet your catch so you can take it home fresh and ready for the grill. With a fishing license covered in the charter and all the gear waiting for you on board, it couldn’t be easier to enjoy a seamless day of fishing the Pine Island way.

Whether you’re chasing your first Snook or checking Tarpon off your bucket list, Captain Jeff is here to deliver an unforgettable day on Florida’s gorgeous Gulf Coast. Come ready to reel in memories that’ll last long after the tide rolls out.
