Located at the northern tip of Pine Island, Bokeelia offers world-class fishing opportunities in the productive waters of Southwest Florida. Bokeelia fishing charters provide access to multiple premier fishing grounds including Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, Matlacha Pass, and the famous Boca Grande Pass, known worldwide for its legendary tarpon fishing.
Year-round fishing makes Bokeelia a top destination for anglers of all skill levels. During the warmer months (March through November), target prized species like snook, redfish, snapper, black drum, pompano, and mackerel. The cooler winter months bring excellent opportunities for sheepshead, grouper, and the occasional shy redfish and snook.
The area's diverse ecosystems create habitats for an impressive variety of gamefish. Inshore waters teem with snook, redfish, speckled trout, and tarpon, while venturing offshore can yield grouper, snapper, cobia, king mackerel, and various shark species. The historic Bokeelia Fishing Pier has attracted anglers for over 100 years, testament to the area's consistent fishing quality.
Experienced local captains know exactly where to find the action, whether you're looking to battle a silver king in Boca Grande Pass, sight fish for redfish in shallow mangrove areas, or target grouper in deeper channels. Many Bokeelia fishing charters include all necessary equipment, licenses, and bait, allowing you to focus solely on the experience.
Beyond the fishing, Bokeelia offers natural beauty with mangrove-lined shores, abundant wildlife, and spectacular sunsets over Charlotte Harbor. Whether you're a seasoned angler or trying fishing for the first time, Bokeelia's productive waters and variety of species make it an ideal Florida fishing destination any time of year.
