Fish Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island & the Nearshore Gulf

Whether you’re after calm inshore action or bigger fish just offshore, Capt. Glenn builds each trip around your goals, what’s biting, and where conditions are best. There’s no need to choose in advance—he’ll make the call based on tides, weather, and your preferences.

You might fish the mangrove shorelines and grass flats of Pine Island Sound, explore the open waters of Charlotte Harbor, or head into the Gulf to target structure-holding species.

One Fishery. Endless Possibilities.

Charlotte Harbor is one of Florida’s largest estuaries, with miles of shoreline, hidden creeks, and vibrant grass flats. Just outside the passes, wrecks and reefs in the nearshore Gulf attract hard-fighting gamefish.

Your trip might include:

  • Drifting flats for snook, redfish, or trout
  • Fishing mangrove edges with live bait
  • Targeting Boca Grande or Redfish Pass on a moving tide
  • Dropping baits on Gulf structure for snapper, grouper, or cobia

Glenn reads the water, tracks the bite, and tailors every trip for maximum action and enjoyment.
