Florida Inshore Fishing Charters invites you down to the West Coast. Join Captain Keith Benson, a native Floridian, for a fun day on the beautiful and productive waters.
Capt. Keith will guide you through the backcountry and inshore waters for Redfish, Snook, and Trout. You will search the flats and backcountry waters for whatever patrols there.
Together, you will venture out nearshore for Cobia, Mackerel, Snapper, Grouper, Tarpon, and many other exciting species. And if the weather doesn’t cooperate, you can always head to the protected waters for Jack crevasse, Redfish, and Tarpon.
You will be checking the bite and mastering the cast aboard a 23’ Ranger Bay boat. She is that one ‘multipurpose’ boats that can carry up to four anglers. Whether you’re fishing for King Mackerel in the morning or maneuvering through the flats for the Snook and Redfish bite in the afternoon, the boat will give you a dry ride. She features a large casting deck and a stable fishing platform.
Beginners to seasoned anglers, everyone is welcome aboard. Capt. Keith can cater to any ages and skill levels. His charters are family-oriented, so bringing your child is a must!

We had a great trip and learned alot about the area we were fishing. Capt Keith is a very skilled and knowledgeable fishing guide and showed us many different ways to fish different areas and put us right on the fish. The capt was very honest and upfront with us about the weather and what we could and couldn't catch at the time. I would highly recommend CAPT KEITH and we will be back to fish with him again.
