Punta Gorda has a fish with your name on it, so let Split Decision Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Matthew can tell you all about them.

These waters are home to Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, Tarpon, and more with any luck.

Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Any fish caught on these trips will be released.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks!

You'll be dropping lines from a 23' Bay boat with room for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

Capt. Matthew will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Split Decision Charters is just a click away.
