Venice FL Fishing Charters ~ Englewood FL Fishing Charters
Offering Venice FL fishing charters and Englewood FL fishing charters with Captain Phil.
I'm sure you've all heard the expression, "A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work". The truth is, I don't really think that there is ever a "bad day of fishing" here is Southwest Florida. From the pristine waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the International Waterway to the grass flats and mangrove shorelines of the Backcountry, the Gulf Coast offers a tremendously wide variety of fishing possibilities for both the expert and the novice angler.
The Intercoastal Waterway and the Backcountry are home to Snook, Redfish, Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Sheephead and Jack Crevalle almost all year long. If you've never caught a 15 lb. Snook or a 10 lb. Redfish on light spinning gear or a fly rod, you're missing the thrill of a lifetime!! And you would be hard pressed to find a better bonding experience with your kids (no matter what age) or your grandkids than a day spent on the water. And as an added bonus, they'll probably get to see a Dolphin or Manatee, up close and personal.
Before you book a trip with me, we'll spend some time on the phone. We'll talk about what you really want to get out of the trip. Are you looking for a specific species? Quality (trophy fish) or quantity? Do you prefer Spinning gear or Fly Rod fishing? What do you normally fish for at home? All of these questions are important if we're going to make this experience unforgettable. Keep in mind that I prefer "catch and release" but you can keep your catch if that is your preference. I also prefer using "artificial" baits, but I always have live bait on the boat. My primary goal is to provide you with a safe, quality experience that's a whole lot of fun. I immensely enjoy being able to teach my customers about the fantastic areas that we have available to us, as well as the techniques we use to put fish in the boat. It's all an integral part of a "great day on the Happy Snooker".
