Fishing the inshore waters of Pine Island these past 40+ years has been a blessing like no other. As a live bait enthusiast, Pine Island has become my primary inshore fishing grounds and never fail to impress my clients. With an abundance of live bait and numerous species to target, it does not come as a surprise that fishing charters in southwest , FL have become so highly sought after. Tarpon, Snook, Redfish and Trout are just a few of the trophy fish that frequent these waters. A typical inshore charter day begins with throwing the cast net for live bait around sunrise and progresses into picking up customers at the agreed upon time. I pride myself on always having live bait in the boat before a charter starts.
