Book your next trip with Fish-On Sport Fishing and come aboard for an experience your whole family will enjoy!

Captain Terry Heller has been fishing and scuba diving in South Florida since 1999. He loves seeing how excited customers get when they reel in a catch, which is why he works hard to make it happen time and again. He’ll see to it that you target some of Florida’s most popular species in the bay or Gulf. The meeting point for Gulf trips is in Boca Grande, FL.

Make yourself comfortable aboard a 24’ Polar powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine. With a maximum cruising speed of 44 knots, this vessel allows you to spend more time fishing and less time getting there. She’s fitted with the latest fishing technology, including a GPS/fishfinder, a wireless trolling motor, and three live bait wells. Up to 4 passengers can come aboard.

While fishing with Capt. Terry, you can target a wide variety of inshore and nearshore species. Depending on the time of year, you might reel in Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Pompano, and much more while exploring the shallow inshore waters. Nearshore trips may give you the opportunity to target Mahi Mahi and a variety of tasty bottom fish.

You can also join Capt. Terry for Tarpon fishing when the season allows. No fish puts on a show quite like this hard-fighting Silver King, revered by anglers around the world. Tarpon usually remain in South Florida from spring through early autumn, although the exact season can vary from year to year. Capt. Terry will do his best to get you on the water when they’re biting.

Fish-On Sport Fishing provides fishing licenses and all the gear you need. You are welcome to keep your catch if regulations allow, and Capt. Terry will clean and fillet it for you. Depending on your request, he may also be able to trailer the boat to nearby locations.

Come aboard today for an experience that you and your family will remember for years to come!

    Captain Terry was a pleasure to fish with, he put us on fish and had a great boat plus tackle/bait. The conversation was excellent and courtesy shown all day was memorable. There were four of us and he showed us how to catch using the local technique. He had a fish finder with years of notes in it, he put us on fish in several locations. We thank him for a great time on the water.

    Excellent Anniversary Celebration

    Full Day on December 23, 2025 • 2 adults

    I haven't been able to fish in Florida for about ten years, and I was so excited to introduce my wife to the sport. Despite wind and waves being suboptimal, Captain Terry took us out and gave us a great day! We caught some eight or nine different species despite the weather conditions, and we are eager to plan our next trip. Captain Terry made the trip well worth it!

    Fishing was kind of slow today. Captain Terry worked very hard and he did manage to put us on some fish. Very hard working Captain.

Captain Terry Heller started fishing with his dad and has been fishing ever since, from Alaska down to Florida. Originally from the Chicagoland area, he started guiding charters in and around Port Charlotte, FL in 2005. He says 'I found warm weather and great fishing here with lots of wildlife, so I stayed.' What he loves most about guiding charters is seeing the look on a customer's face when they land an amazing catch.
