Here at West Coast
Fishing Charters, we offer guided fishing adventures through
some of the most famous fishing waters in the world.
Southwest Florida has the best backwater or back country
fishing in all of Florida. Our waters have been referred to
as an anglers paradise. There are thousands of miles of
shoreline, pristine mangrove islands, acres of sea-grass
beds, creeks, bays and inlets, as well as underwater wrecks
that attract a vast array of saltwater fish.
Within our waters, you will find several of Florida's most
sought after game fish. The
Tarpon,
a world class trophy fish, will give you the fight of your
life. The Red Fish and
Snook, both once
hooked, love to jump and run with your line. Southwest
Florida has several different types of Sharks that will
gladly stretch your line and leave you wondering what you
actually had on it. The
Spanish Mackerel, Jack Cravelle and
Cobia,
all are good, strong fighting fish that will give you a good
run.
Other species which are just as plentiful are the
Grouper, Trout, Snapper, Flounder, Tripletail, Ladyfish and more,
all provide for an enjoyable day on the water as well as a
good meal on the table. We encourage catch and release but
if you desire a meal for your table we observe all of
Florida's limit laws.

you on the fish.
