Fast Cast Fishing – Boca Grande
Fast Cast Fish is a versatile charter service based in the beautiful surroundings of Placida, Florida. You don’t need to look any further for an enjoyable fishing trip that will let you target whichever inshore or nearshore fish you like.
You will be fishing aboard a brand new 2016 Pathfinder boat that is powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine. Featuring state of the art Simrad electronics, as well as a Minn Kota trolling motor and a Powerpole shallow water anchoring system, this boat is designed to put you on the fish. It will also offer you a comfortable ride, with plenty of storage and fold-out seating for the journey to and from the fishing spots.
Choose whether you’d rather stay inshore, travel out into the open waters nearshore, or target the ultimate Floridian inshore sportfish - the Silver King. Whichever trip you go for, you will be provided with the latest Shimano fishing equipment and all the bait and lures you will need for your trip. With potential target fish ranging from shallow water hunters such as Redfish and Snook to reef species like delicious Snappers, Groupers, and Amberjack, you will be in with a good chance of hooking some dinner!

Captain Steve (substitute)
Captain Lou had some unfortunate last minute engine issues on his boat but called in Captain Steve to the rescue. Steve was the best Captain we could’ve asked for - brought us to his hidden honey holes (that he’d been feeding for days prior to the trip), hooked us onto everything we asked for, and had all the patience in the world for my 8 and 6 y/o boys. We hooked onto everything - snook, trout, even a black tip shark at the start. Highly recommend to anyone looking to have an awesome day with with a local expert!

Fishing with Lou
After the previous weekends cold snap, fishing reports were not optimistic. But Lou had us on fish with a variety of fish and enough Sheephead for dinner. We even boated a big Redfish as well! Lou's experience and know-how were the difference.
