Incredible inshore fishing awaits with High Tide Fishing Charters. Based out of Punta Gorda, FL, you're just a stone's throw from the stunning waters of Charlotte Harbor and Boca Grande. These fishing grounds are famous all over the world for their diversity of exciting and delicious fish – come and see for yourself.

Let Captain Justin Snauffer show you around. A native to Charlotte Harbor, he's been fishing these waters since he was old enough to hold a rod. With over 25 years of fishing experience, he'll take you to every nook and cranny of these productive waters, making sure that you get on top of all the big fish.

Up to 3 guests are welcome aboard the 22' Shoalwater flats boat. Built specifically to fish the shallow waters, you'll have no problem navigating the flats and backcountry, as well as the deeper nearshore waters. Whizz off to the sweet spots at speeds of up to 40 knots, thanks to the 140 HP Yamaha engine. When you get there, the wireless trolling motor will help you get up close to the spooky fish without making a peep!

Using live bait, you'll try to entice the bite of some tough-fighting and delicious fish to take home with you. Get ready to do battle with Snook, Redfish, Sharks, and even Tarpon when in season, along with Sheepshead, Trout, Snapper, and many more. Use all your strength and skills to guide these monsters to the boat, claiming a coveted victory that will make you the envy of anglers everywhere.

At the end of your trip, the captain will clean and prepare your catch, so that you head home with a tasty treat. During the trip, you'll be given water to stay hydrated, but feel free to fill the onboard cooler with your own drinks and snacks.

All the gear you'll need will be provided, so all you have to do is dress appropriately and hop aboard High Tide Fishing Charters. Come and experience some of the world's finest inshore fishing.
