Captain Fred's  enthusiasm and desire to share his love for fishing will help to make your day one to remember.  Captain Fred is one of the most knowledgeable anglers in the area, with more than eleven years of experience fishing the waters of  Boca Grande, Charlotte Harbor and Pine Island Sound.  He is a member of the  Florida Guides Association (FGA). When you schedule a trip with Captain Fred, you will have the opportunity to choose from many exciting adventures.

      The Boca Grande   and  Charlotte Harbor  area is well known for snook, redfish, spotted sea trout, and, of course, giant tarpon during the warmer months of the year.   At certain times, a variety of other fish are available, including, cobia, triple tail, mackerel, grouper, snapper, and more.  Captain Fred  will provide you with expert advice on what is biting, but the final choice is up to you!

      You may choose from live bait or artificial lures.  Captain Fred with his extensive knowledge of the area and fish which are your quest for the day, will let you know what is the most productive fishing technique at that time.

    Fly fishing equipment or light spinning tackle is provided. If your target is Tarpon, heavier spinning and conventional outfits are available.   All equipment is of high quality and well maintained.
    
     One to three anglers can fish from Captain Fred's  flats boat.  Larger parties of any size can be arranged.

     You will be fishing from a custom rigged  2300 Bay Ranger with a 225 hp Mercury Optimax.  A cooler with ice and water will be on board. Please provide your own choice of beverage and snacks for the day.   Florida saltwater fishing licenses are provided.  Captain Fred   is  U.S. Coast Guard licensed and insured.
