Shallow Drift Charters-Mosquito Lagoon

There’s a fish with your name on it in Mims and Shallow Drift Fishing Charters will help you catch it! Captain Neil will be your guide, giving you access to years of angling experience.

Species like Black Drum, Flounder, Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, Tarpon, and more are in the cards, depending on when you go. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Shallow Drift Fishing Charters is a child-friendly charter service, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

You’ll be dropping lines from a 16’ Carolina Skiff that holds up to 2 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Neil has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. It’s never a bad idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Bottled water is included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Shallow Drift Fishing Charters.
