If you're ready to enjoy fishing in Charlotte Harbor, look no further than Shallow Water Sight Fishing. With Captain Karl at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Around here the fishing is popular for Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, and more. 

Charters focus on fly fishing or light tackle fishing with spin gear and artificial lures.  All fishing gear -and tackle and flies are provided or feel free to bring your own equipment if you prefer.

Shallow Water Sight Fishing welcomes kids aboard, so go ahead and bring your son or daughter. Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are permitted onboard - bring your favorites to keep their stamina going!

Capt. Karl runs a 18' Skiff with space for 2 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water.

Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time!  Most charters are catch and release, but I can arrange to keep certain species if you are looking to bring home fish for a family meal.

A few items to bring include sunscreen (non-spray), polarized sunglasses and shoes with non marking soles. Bottles of water and ice will be available for you.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with Shallow Water Sight Fishing.

Capt. Karl is passionate about the outdoors and spending time on the water. As the name of the charter business implies, my favorite way to fish is poking my skiff in shallow water on the flats or backcountry with a fly rod or light tackle looking for Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Speckled Trout and Sheepshead.
