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.

What a great day of fishing!...Captain Terry kept us on the fish the entire trip. It was non-stop action. I lost count of all the different species we caught. And the dinner that night was delicious! Thank you for the recipe Captain! We had a wonderful and a very memorable experience! I would highly ‘Fish on’ to anyone and can’t wait for our next trip with Captain Terry!

Josh you and your daughter were fun to fish with. Too bad that season for Grouper was closed, but we had fun releasing all those Red and Gag Grouper. The Sea Bass and Lanes snapper were I’m sure very good to eat. Looking forward to fish with you again next year God Willing.

Half day on ocean with Terry

We had a great day on the ocean with Terry catching about 10 different varieties of fish. We must have boated 60 fish and kept around 20. There were 3 of us and two were newbies. Terry did a great job in explaining how to catch fish and coached us throughout the day. Terry is an experienced guide that listens to the customers wants and develops a plan for the day depending on experience level. Thanks Terry for day we will not forget!

I agreed and we have rescheduled for next year. Captain Terry could have just taken us out and collected his funds, but he is better than that, he contacted us and saId it is about the experience not the money, he would rather have us catch fish than go home with a bad experience. Great captin in my t0 years of fishing! Thanks and I will update after our trip, I suspect it will be a great experience 😀

Captain Terry was absolutely fabulous and we all had a wonderful time. He supplied everything that we were ever going to need and took us out to a great spot where we started catching fish right away and stayed that way till the day was over. Came home with a bunch of good fillets. Certainly would recommend Captain Terry to anybody, he really knows what he’s doing and is very familiar with his equipment and the Gulf.

The day was great for fishing, and you all proved it to me. The wind was blowing in the early morning and I was a bit concerned that we may have to fish the bay, but all went well and we stayed the day in the Gulf. less not forget the Tarpons we passed on the way in. PS. Where are all the Grouper pictures ? How did you like the taste of the Sea Bass? Thanks Again for a great trip, hope to see you soon.

Capt Terry made it a enjoyable time on the water, very knowledgeable and energetic. My son and I were catching fish every couple of minutes. I believe we reeled in 6-8 different species of fish and saw a sea turtle swimming at around 4 miles offshore. Nice size fish that put up a fight to get them in the boat. Capt Terry also had a 1st mate that he was training and that shows he enjoys what his does and is trying to pass down he knowledge to the younger generation. Would recommend to anyone and... More
