There's a fish with your name on it in Placida, and Tactical Tide Charters will help you catch it! With Captain Nic, a Marine Corps veteran, at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Tarpon, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, Sheepshead, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, and more; with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. For these species, you're likely to use light or heavy tackle.

If you're traveling with the family, you'll be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available; otherwise, you should bring your own. You're welcome to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

You'll find yourself aboard a 22-foot center console that can accommodate up to 3 passengers. It has all the essentials for a great day on the water.

Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special regulations or limited seasons. Simply ask, and your captain can tell you more.

It's recommended that you bring bottled water, sunglasses, and non-spray sunscreen. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but please avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Tactical Tide Charters and get hooked!

Fishing with Nicholas
4 Hr – Inshore Fishing Charter on July 9, 2026

​5/5 Stars - Incredible Day on the Water! ​Had an absolute blast fishing with Tactical Tide Fishing. The captain knows exactly where the fish are biting and put us on the action right away. The gear was top-notch, the boat was clean, and the overall experience was professional from start to finish. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, they will take great care of you. Highly recommend booking a charter with them—I'll definitely be back!
