Saltface Charters welcomes you down to the picture-perfect waters of Homosassa to spend the day catching tasty, hard-fighting fish in the Florida sun. Captain Mike has been working these waters for decades and knows all the best spots to get you on that fish of your dreams.

The waters around Homosassa are so full of fish you'll have a hard time choosing what to target. The local bays and backwaters are packed with tasty Redfish, Flounder, Trout, and Snook. Head further out (only available for full day trips and are weather dependent), and you'll find Grouper, Black Seabass, Sheepshead, and more! If the choice is too much for you, why not book a full day trip and enjoy the best of both?

Even on a half day, Captain Mike will make sure you head home with a trunkful of fish. His 24' Carolina Skiff is perfect for navigating Homosassa's winding backwaters, with a shallow draft and a stealthy trolling motor to avoid spooking the fish. Whatever you target, you can do so with confidence, using only the best Shimano and Penn equipment to make sure you bag the best fish.

During the summer, Saltface Charters offers special scalloping trips. These active adventures let you get into the water to dive for delicious Scallop. They're perfect for families and great fun for kids (6 years and up), plus you can fit 6 guests onboard on these trips.

This is your chance to experience Homosassa's awesome angling with a guide who knows every inch of the area. All trips come with tackle, bait, ice, and licenses, so all you need is your food and drinks. And don't forget to pack a big cooler to take your fish home once Captain Mike has filleted them for you!

Please keep in mind that exact trip times will depend on the tide. Capt. Mike will do his best to accommodate your needs, but be sure to contact him prior to the trip to agree on the departure time.

Great experience with Captain Mike
6 Hour Trip on June 26, 20252 adults
Started at 9.00 am, a little later start than we were used to due to the tides, but this turned out to be perfect. We had a beautiful run out to our first of many fishing spots, where we caught a wide variety of species. Once this spot was exhausted, we headed to the next place. Each time we changed gear and Mike set us up for success. Grunts and red snapper started going into the cooler. Captain Mike wasn't shy about sharing his knowledge and kept the boat moving to the best locations in open water and around the many small mangrove islands. The redfish fishing was fun, and we kept a few of those for dinner. All too soon, 6 hours had passed, and we headed back to the dock to watch Captain Mike skillfully fillet and bag our catch. I would thoroughly recommend Captain Mike and will book another trip soon.

Great times with tight lines !
Full Day Trip on June 20, 20253 adults
We had an amazing time out on the water with Capt. Mike from Salt Faced Charter! From start to finish, everything about the trip was top-notch. We caught a limit of redfish, plus plenty of mangrove snapper and grunts, which made for an exciting and action-packed day. Capt. Mike was extremely professional, yet super easy to talk to — it felt like fishing with a longtime friend who really knows his stuff. His boat was clean, comfortable, and loaded with top-of-the-line equipment, which made a huge difference in the experience. I can’t recommend Salt Faced Charter enough — 10/10, hands down. If you’re looking for a great day of fishing and good company, this is the charter to book!

Fishing with captain Mike
6 Hour Trip on March 18, 20264 adults
It was a very hard day of fishing because the wind was wrong and it was a cold front. But our captain made sure he tried his best to put us on fish and we had a beautiful snook on the line and lost it. Caught some trout and seen many more fish. If they were biting we would have loaded the boat. Captain Mike knows where to find them.
