Florida Inshore Fishing Charters and Captain Keith Benson invite you down to Homosassa to explore the beautiful West Coast of Florida. Enjoy the backcountry waters and check the bite close to shore. Go scalloping with your friends and family. Or just sit back, relax, and take in all the beauty.

Capt. Keith will take you out aboard his 23’ Shoalwater bay boat. It comes powered by a single 200 HP Suzuki engine and can draft in about 5 inches of water. The boat can take up to four anglers to fish in comfort and style. It has a tower for sightseeing, as well as a power pole to keep you in the productive spot.

On your day out, you will be able to enjoy targeting a variety of fish species that available year-round. Capt. Keith will take you to the grass flats and mangroves for Redfish, Snook, Spotted Seatrout, Grouper, and Cobia to name a few.

If you are after something different, Florida Inshore Fishing Charters offers scalloping trips. The season is open from the 1st of July until late September. Those trips are a popular activity for the whole family. Don’t forget to bring your kids with you!

Your fishing trip will come inclusive with all the necessary licenses, drinks, rods, reels, tackle, lures, and bait. All the catch you decide to keep will be cleaned for you at the end of the trip. You will need to bring your own snacks and drinks with you.

Half Day Trip on March 17, 2022

Capt Keith was awesome! Picked us up right at the dock and away we went. The fishing started slow but got us on the fish with a few minor tweaks. I feel that without his knowledge we would have ended up with a goose egg. All said and done we landed well over 20 fish in tough conditions. Thank you capt Keith for a wonderful day out!
