Wind around the stunning Everglades National Park and engage in some outstanding backcountry and nearshore fishing with Fintastic Fishing Charters! Captain Mike Patterson is determined to live life to the fullest, and wants to help you start doing the same right away.

With over 30 years of experience, he’s committed to running family-friendly services, and invites anglers of all experience levels to come and experience the great fishing this area has to offer.

Fishing aboard his 22’ Pathfinder center console boat, you’ll be able to access the shallow backcountry but also cope with choppier waters nearshore. In the skinny waters, a wireless trolling motor will kick into action to allow you to approach the fearful fish beneath. Fitted with two power poles, Hummingbird electronics, and a 200 HP Mercury engine, the boat has all the pro features you need for a great day of fishing.

Capt. Mike and his team will supply all the equipment and expertise you need for a great day on the water. You’ll get to explore a range of fishing techniques, from trolling and jigging, to spinning and deep sea fishing.

Expert anglers can even make the most of the fly fishing equipment on board. With live bait prepared for you and kept in the well, you’re in pole position to start reeling in Black Drum, Permit, Redfish, Snook, Cobia, Mackerel, Tripletail, and Hogfish.

Where better to explore the outstanding beauty of the Everglades than from its winding waterways? With the cleaning and filleting service offered on board, you’ll even be able to feed the whole family with a delicious, healthy meal – and it always tastes better when you’ve caught it!

So what are you waiting for? A trip of a lifetime awaits, so join Fintastic Fishing Charters today!

Great trip. Captain Phil did a great job not only putting us on fish all day, but multiple species, which really made the day fun. We started with speckled trout, then redfish. Along the way caught a few mangroves and even a grouper that we released as it wasn’t in season.
