Background: 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.
Techniques: The Weather controls where we fish and what's in season controls what we can fish for.

What's biting now?

Jan 2, 2023 Port Charlotte

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

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.

Half Day Trip - Bay Fishing

Captain Terry was great. The day started out promising but slowly became frustrating as the bite was very slow. Captain Terry did everything in his power to get us fish. On a last chance spot I was able to land a large Red fish and puffer fish. We also saw several dolphins, stingray and a sea turtle. Thanks again Captain Terry!

No captain likes to have a bad day on the water, but it happens from time to time. We did stay out on the water 7hrs. and we did get a very respectable 231/2 inch Red Fish. I hope you will give me a second chance. Thanks Captain Terry.

Great fishing with Captain Terry. Highly recommend a day trip - caught about 40 fish between two people and Terry knew where the fish were biting. When biting slowed, off to another good spot. Knows the waters well and takes you to his favorite spots, not the tourist reefs. He provides everything you need for an excellent day on the Gulf.

Despite Red Tide, my son & I had a great day fishing with Capt. Terry. Great, nice guy who was very helpful. We caught 5 species in the harbor and lost count of the ones that stole our bait! I will go out with Capt. Terry again.
