Spend the day with Charlotte Harbor Angling Adventures and see what's biting in Punta Gorda! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Conrad knows them forwards and back.

You're likely to fish for Snook, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Tarpon, Mangrove Snapper, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, and more if conditions allow. For these species, you're likely to use spinning tackle both light or heavy depending on what the targeted species is. Capt. Conrad also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Charlotte Harbor Angling Adventures is a child-friendly charter service, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to keep up those energy levels!

You'll be fishing aboard a 20' Bay boat with room for 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as a live well full of bait necessary for the day of fishing.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Captain Conrad Saved Our Fishing Trip!
Half Day Trip – Inshore fishing on July 16, 20262 adults

After our first fishing charter didn’t work out, we reached out to Captain Conrad with a last-minute request. I sent him a message around 9:30 p.m., not expecting a reply until the next morning, but he responded quickly. After checking the tide conditions, we adjusted our start time, and less than 12 hours later we were on the water. The action started immediately at our first spot—we were catching fish almost instantly. Then Captain Conrad spotted some tarpon rolling behind us, so we switched gears, and before long we were hooked up with an incredible tarpon. Throughout the trip we caught a wide variety of fish, stayed on the bite, and had an absolute blast. Captain Conrad was knowledgeable, flexible, and worked hard to put us on fish. I’d definitely recommend booking a trip with him, and we’ll absolutely be back for another charter! Failed to take pictures of all the fish. Having to much fun catching.

Reported catch:
Snook
Mangrove Snapper
Tarpon
Speckled Trout

Exciting Time on the Water
Half day inshore afternoon on February 15, 20264 adults

We had a great time with Capt Conrad. This was the first time any member of the group had been fishing from a boat. Everybody had a fantastic time. We caught many fish and many varieties due to Conrad's knowledge of the area. If the fish were not biting in one area he quickly moved to another. He is very courteous and patient and everybody had a great time with him. We would not hesitate to recommend to anybody. Thanks to Conrad 👍👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great time on the water!
Half day inshore afternoon on March 28, 20262 adults1 child

Capt. Conrad made sure we caught fish and had a great time. He knew were to put us to have a great day. He'll be our first call next time were in town. We all hooked a great variety and made sure our 11 yr old had an awsome time. Capt Conrad was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot. He stayed in touch through messages and called us to make sure everything went smooth meeting up at the launch.

Awesome Day on the Water
Half day inshore afternoon on June 25, 20263 adults1 child

Captain Conrad was awesome! We did a nearshore trip and caught plenty of snapper and snook. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to keep us on the fish. He even casted and hooked fish with us and would hand the fish off to one of us to reel it in. We had a great time and would definitely book with him again. Highly recommend!
