On a charter with me, we will primarily be sight-fishing Mosquito Lagoon’s world-class Redfish fishery.

My 16-foot skiff is ideal for this fishery, and I will push-pole us through shallow grass flats where the opportunity to see and stealthily pursue slot- and over-slot-sized Redfish makes for a thrilling, memorable experience. On any given day, dozens to hundreds of tailing Redfish can often be observed in water less than 1.5 feet deep. If weather conditions aren’t ideal for sight-fishing, Speckled Trout, Redfish, and the occasional Snook or Tarpon can readily be caught blind-casting artificials.

I provide all spinning rods, reels, and tackle. Fly angling is definitely welcome, as this fishery is ideal for carefully cast, unweighted or lightly weighted flies; however, I do not supply fly gear. Unless customers strongly prefer fishing with bait, we will fish with artificial lures (e.g., Gulp!, Z-Man plastics, topwaters, spoons, etc.). Fishing licenses for all clients are included with the charter.

I encourage catch-and-release, although I am happy to accommodate anglers who want to keep legal-sized Speckled Trout, Black Drum, or other species. Redfish in Mosquito Lagoon are closed to harvest, so all will be released. I can filet and bag any fish kept at no additional charge.

Polarized sunglasses are required! Bring comfortable, non-marking shoes, as well as appropriate sun protection and rain gear. I will bring plenty of water, but customers should plan on bringing their own snacks and additional drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but no glass bottles!
