Whether a full day trip with a seasoned angler or a shorter family trip, Code Red Fishing Charters is up to the challenge! Captain Matt knows the famous Mosquito Lagoon inside and out and will happily share his knowledge with any prospective angler, regardless of their experience and skill set.

One thing that sets Code Red Fishing Charters apart from most other charters is their 24/7 availability policy. Whether at sunrise or in the evening, Captain Matt will do his utmost to accommodate your needs.

Captain Matt’s main boat is an 18’ Bossman skiff with a 60 HP Suzuki engine. This type of boat is what you need when fishing on shallow waters in and around the Mosquito Lagoon. The boat has all the necessary gear for inshore and flats fishing, including a wireless trolling motor and rods, Penn reels, tackle, and GrandSlam/Z-man lures. Fly fishing enthusiasts should, however, bring their own fly fishing gear.

Mosquito Lagoon is known amongst fishermen as "The Redfish Capital of the World" for a good reason. Along with the Speckled Trout, the abundance of Redfish is why the Lagoon is such a popular place for many anglers. Tarpon and Snook have also been known to make appearances once every so often. If you’re lucky, you might also see mammals such as dolphins and manatees.

Captain Matt has the licensing and insurance sorted and will be happy to fillet and package any caught fish for you to enjoy afterward. All you need to bring is a pair of sunglasses, some snacks, and a camera to take those quality wildlife shots.

All that’s left is to have as much fun as possible! See you soon!
