Southern Cut Charters runs flyfishing and light tackle inshore trips out of Tarpon Springs and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.

Capt. Gage will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in fly fishing to get you on that bite. This involves 4 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, and other inshore fish depending on the season and conditions on the day.

Your boat for the day will be an 18' Ankona that fits up to 2 anglers at any one time. The boat comes with an ice box, and a wireless trolling motor.

When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price. As for fishing licenses, everything will be taken care of by the captain so you don't have to worry about it. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it's legal to do so.

You'll find free water on the boat for your convenience, but you're always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to.
