Florida Inshore Fishing Charters uses only the highest line of professional grade equipment available for inshore saltwater fly fishing, spin fishing, sight fishing and saltwater flats fishing on the Mosquito Lagoon, Indian River, Port Canaveral, Ponce Inlet and all of east central Florida's Atlantic coastal waters. Making sure your day on the water is as productive, comfortable and exciting as it can possibly be. This will ensure while with your central Florida fishing guide it will be the expectations of a world class trophy flats fishing trip you have planned for. This type of fishing can easily be done by all ages and experience levels. We can accommodate up to for anglers at certain times. Two or three are ideal fishing situations.
We will be fishing out of a clean, professionally custom built Pathfinder 2022 Bay Boat designed for tarpon and nearshore beach fishing trips or larger groups. Capable of taking up to six passengers comfortably and allowing to run the beaches for tarpon, hit the reefs and wrecks for snapper and grouper or stay inshore for just extra space on board.
We also have added a 17 foot micro skiff for extreme backcountry shallow water sight fishing trips. Perfect for fly fishing, flats fishing, and targeting fish in deep inside national park and refuge waters where not an average flats boat can get to. Making this the best nearshore and inshore saltwater fishing trip you will ever have while flats fishing for redfish, trout, snook, tarpon, triple tail, cobia and black drum. These are built for quality and high expectation fishing trips.
Both boats are immaculately and perfectly designed to make casts at tailing redfish in pristine shallow back country waters while fly fishing or getting that double hook up at the same time with spin fishing gear on schooling winter redfish. Designed for any saltwater flats fishing situations central Florida has to offer, along with running the beaches on beautiful mornings targeting snook and tarpon. Able to run at comfortable speeds along with a smooth ride makes this the perfect light tackle technical poling skiff and bay boat in the world.
The multiple applications of these boats allows you to get into waters for an approach to red drum or channel bass, Florida gator trout, giant tarpon and also at the same time will get you to the dock side night time snook without the fish even detecting your presence. This allows you while on your guided fishing trip, the diversity of sight fishing, flats fishing and fly fishing areas that other boats just can not do or reach.
Both are powered with Yamaha four stroke outboards allowing you to get there safely, quietly, quickly and most importantly catch the big ones! Both also equipped with a Power Pole Shallow Water Anchor system, Minn Kota GPS guided trolling motor (when needed for those special times... Bull Redfish! Big Tarpon!! - Night time snook fishing and going after deep water tarpon along the Atlantic Coastal waters), hydraulic jack plate, Lenco trim tabs, Garmin electronics, fully equipped live well system, all USCG safety equipment, plus much more. Can handle up to four anglers.
The extra wide beam of the bay boat allows you to have plenty of space to move around freely and not to worry about the boat wanting tip over with room to fish. A custom, comfortable and safe ride you deserve for an outstanding day of fishing, inshore or nearshore.
