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 backcountry fishing in all of Florida. Our waters have been referred to as an angler's paradise. There are thousands of miles of shoreline, pristine mangrove islands, acres of seagrass beds, creeks, bays and inlets, as well as underwater wrecks that attract a vast array of saltwater and some freshwater 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 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.
