Pine Island Sound Fishing Charters

Classic Florida fishing: quiet, scenic, and some of the best sight fishing in the region.

A shallow water paradise

Worth the Ride

If you’re looking for Florida fishing the way it used to be, quiet, scenic and full of opportunity, Pine Island Sound is your spot.

Protected from open Gulf weather and lined with lush mangrove islands, these waters offer some of the best sight fishing in the region. Whether you’re stalking reds on shallow flats or pitching to snook in the shadows, this is real deal inshore action.

Capt. Glenn runs custom charters into the Sound based on tides, conditions and target species. It’s not the fastest run, but it might just be the most rewarding.

What we fish for

What We Fish for in Pine Island Sound

Redfish: tailing and cruising on shallow, grassy flats
Snook: holding tight under mangroves and oyster points
Spotted seatrout: ambushing baits in potholes and drop offs
Sheepshead & black drum: around structure, especially in cooler months
Flounder: a tasty bonus catch when working the bottom

This area is a favorite for anglers who like to see the fish before they cast.

Built Around the Bite

Want to focus on redfish only? Mix it up with trout and flounder? Break up the trip with a shelling stop or a dolphin cruise? We can do that.

Pine Island Sound trips are fully private, always custom, and always built around the bite, not a preset route. This is the kind of trip that reminds you why you love fishing in the first place.
