Fish-on Sport Fishing=Bay or Gulf

Port Charlotte, United States
100+ reviews
Captain Terry Heller started fishing with his dad and has been fishing ever since, from Alaska down to Florida. Originally from the Chicagoland area, he started guiding charters in and around Port Charlotte, FL in 2005. He says 'I found warm weather and great fishing here with lots of wildlife, so I stayed.' What he loves most about guiding charters is seeing the look on a customer's face when they land an amazing catch.

    Half Day Trip - Gulf - 4 People Max • 4 adults

    Capt Terry put us on fish in spite of 3 foot swells ~ 10 miles off shore. all four people caught fish which he filleted on our return. very attentive with my granddaughters, keeping bait on their hooks and taking care of the fish they caught. we caught five or six different species of fish. sufficient fillets to use for two or three dinners for seven people. will definitely book again with him!!

    Reported catch:
    Grunt

    Half Day Trip - Bay Fishing • 4 adults

    Captain Terry was a pleasure to fish with, he put us on fish and had a great boat plus tackle/bait. The conversation was excellent and courtesy shown all day was memorable. There were four of us and he showed us how to catch using the local technique. He had a fish finder with years of notes in it, he put us on fish in several locations. We thank him for a great time on the water.

    Reported catch:
    Grunt
    Flounder

    Relaxing day fishing

    Half Day Trip - Bay Fishing • 3 adults

    We started out early on a beautiful calm day and had a great day learning and fishing the canals and the bay. Being quite hot, not a lot was caught but spending the day with family was priceless.

    Response from Charter operator

    The day and weather was hot hot hot, You all did a great job at fising. I wished we would have taken more pictures of the 6 species of fish we took abord. Next time I will be sure to make it happen. Thank You Captain Terry

What's biting with Fish-On Sport Fishing in Port Charlotte

October is a great time to head out and fill the boat with Redfish, Trout, and Snook, so an inshore adventure is a blast. Grouper, Kingfish, and Amberjack are all biting offshore, so you can head out further for some more action.

In the bay sheep head are the hot button. Trout, Jacks, and some Red Fish. Out in the gulf the season open up and we now have available Snapper, Key West Grunts, Trigger, and Tripple Tail. Grouper ( red only) 20 inches or over. Action is Good Weather is the only thing holding us from getting the fish. Winds must be 10 mph or less or winds from the East is best.

We have FISH..... Just because we have s

Aug 22, 2018 • Port Charlotte
Where's the FISH? Well I have been in 50 feet of water and done well. I have also been in 2 ft. of water and have also done well. The trick is to go were the "red" tide isn't. Look for clear water and no mirk on top. Use live bait and cut bait to be successful.
