Fishing in Placida

Nestled along Florida's southwest coast, Placida offers anglers an unparalleled fishing paradise with its pristine waters and abundant marine life. Placida fishing charters provide access to diverse ecosystems including Lemon Bay, Gasparilla Sound, Boca Grande Pass, Charlotte Harbor Aquatic Preserve, and the Gulf of Mexico.

Inshore fishing in Placida delivers exceptional opportunities for catching snook, redfish, and spotted seatrout along mangrove-lined shorelines and fertile saltwater grass flats. The undeveloped coastal areas create ideal habitats for these popular gamefish, with peak seasons occurring during spring and fall months.

For those seeking bigger challenges, nearshore and offshore Placida fishing charters venture into the Gulf of Mexico's deeper waters where anglers can target grouper, mangrove snapper, lane snapper, red snapper, and amberjack. The area's artificial reefs and natural structures provide excellent fishing grounds year-round.

Tarpon fishing reaches its prime in May and June, drawing enthusiasts from around the world to experience the thrill of battling these silver kings. Shark fishing offers exciting action with blacktip, bull, and bonnethead sharks commonly encountered in the region's waters.

Beyond the incredible fishing, Placida charters often customize experiences to include dolphin watching, sunset cruises, and even lunch trips to nearby destinations like Cabbage Key. The area's calm seas, pleasant climate, and breathtaking scenery enhance every fishing adventure.

Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to test your skills against powerful gamefish or a beginner hoping to land your first catch, Placida fishing charters cater to all experience levels.

Early spring fishing is best, but we did very well in midsummer. The area is very picturesque and even on a day with no fish the day on the water is worth in.

While it seemed that the dock talk while waiting was that the fishing was slow we still caught plenty of fish and had enough to take some home. Overall we caught over 6+ species.
