Charlotte Harbor offers some of the finest inshore fishing in Florida, and Mangrove Coast Charters is here to guide you to it. With Captain Chad at the helm, you’ll be fishing with a knowledgeable and experienced local guide dedicated to making your trip both productive and memorable.

These waters are home to Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Speckled Trout, Jack Crevalle, and more. Whether you’re seeking steady inshore action or chasing that bucket-list trophy, there’s no shortage of opportunity.

Specialties:

Fly Fishing: Captain Chad specializes in sight casting with a fly rod, targeting Snook and Redfish year-round along flats and mangrove shorelines.

Light Tackle: For anglers who prefer spinning gear, light tackle offers exciting action for Redfish, Snook, and Trout throughout the year.
