Fishing on the Gulf Coast of Florida

Fishing is a 'must' for the enthusiast and each year, the Tarpon game fish gather in the Boca Pass and offer great sport to both local and international anglers. The competitions are held just offshore and spectators get a marvelous view of the boats from one of the lighthouses situated at the waters edge.

The Gulf Islands have become one of the world’s top sport fishing destinations. From back bay fishing in the shallows to deep sea excursions in the Gulf of Mexico, Charlotte’s incredible diversity of spectacular fishing is hooking anglers from around the world. Tarpon, snook, redfish, barracuda, cobia, grouper and many other species of sport and game fish commute between the Gulf of Mexico and Charlotte Harbor.

Fly fishing for tarpon, snook, redfish, shark and more are becoming increasingly popular, bringing anglers to the Gulf-Coast. Numerous charter services and private guides are available that cater specifically to the fly fishing angler.

For a more peaceful day, anglers will find plenty of opportunity to take a boat out into the Gulf or the intercoastal waterway with local experts and enjoy catching a wide range of large fish.

If you enjoy eating fish, try the Grouper fingers. A large, but delicate tasting fish which has to be caught locally in order to appear on the menu. Grouper are not sold at the fish market.
