    Captain Conrad Saved Our Fishing Trip!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore fishing • 2 adults

    After our first fishing charter didn’t work out, we reached out to Captain Conrad with a last-minute request. I sent him a message around 9:30 p.m., not expecting a reply until the next morning, but he responded quickly. After checking the tide conditions, we adjusted our start time, and less than 12 hours later we were on the water. The action started immediately at our first spot—we were catching fish almost instantly. Then Captain Conrad spotted some tarpon rolling behind us, so we switched gears, and before long we were hooked up with an incredible tarpon. Throughout the trip we caught a wide variety of fish, stayed on the bite, and had an absolute blast. Captain Conrad was knowledgeable, flexible, and worked hard to put us on fish. I’d definitely recommend booking a trip with him, and we’ll absolutely be back for another charter! Failed to take pictures of all the fish. Having to much fun catching.

    Awesome Day on the Water

    Half day inshore afternoon • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Conrad was awesome! We did a nearshore trip and caught plenty of snapper and snook. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to keep us on the fish. He even casted and hooked fish with us and would hand the fish off to one of us to reel it in. We had a great time and would definitely book with him again. Highly recommend!

    Exciting Time on the Water

    Half day inshore afternoon • 4 adults

    We had a great time with Capt Conrad. This was the first time any member of the group had been fishing from a boat. Everybody had a fantastic time. We caught many fish and many varieties due to Conrad's knowledge of the area. If the fish were not biting in one area he quickly moved to another. He is very courteous and patient and everybody had a great time with him. We would not hesitate to recommend to anybody. Thanks to Conrad 👍👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We had an awesome experience on the 4 hour sunset charter. Captain Conrad was so patient and helpful with me and my two teenagers. We caught a lot fish from two different spots in Charlotte Harbor. We will definitely go again if we come back to the area. Thanks again Captain for the great memories!

What's biting with Charlotte Harbor Angling Adventures in Punta Gorda

If you've been waiting for cooler weather, chances are October will be your saving grace. Fishing in the Gulf is still hot, though! Autumn is a great time to target Redfish if you feel like staying inshore.
