Member since September 2016 Port Charlotte, United States

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.

Thank You for the review. Next time I hope the fish and wildlife open up more of the species that we can hook into and take home. Grouper, Flounder, and Snook to name a few. I hope to see you again soon, and I will be happy to look over the boat that you may want to buy. Thanks again Captain Terry.

Captain Terry and First Mate Cody were awesome! They took us to the fish and we caught 10 or more different species! We had enough for several fish fry’s! Would highly recommend Captain Terry! He knows where they are!

Captain Terry was the best! Knowledgeable about the area and the species’s and his own love of fishing shows. The boat is stable and smooth and the engine is quiet. Give it a try, you will not regret it! Tight lines!

I hope the fish fry was as good as the Walleye you get in Canada. I know the sites of the area such as the 6 very large Manatee had to be exciting to see close up and under the boat. That sting ray was just a few of the larger fish found in the bay. Hope to see you again . Captain Terry.

We tried to fish offshore in the Gulf but it was too rough. We then came inshore and caught a bunch of Trout. We were bothered by Dolphins trying to eat our catch, but were able to keep them away. Captain Terry is a great guide and definitely knows the spots. Definitely recommend a trip if you want a great time.

Thanks for the review. Frankly the two of you new how to fish, All I did was to point the boat, the hard part was all the training I had to do with the bait fish all around and the trick Dolphins.. Hope to see you again soon.

Happy to give Capt. Terry high marks. We were scheduled to go out on Wednesday though after talking to Capt. Terry we recheduled to Friday. Florida had a lot of wind that week. Friday was our last day. Capt. Terry took us out 8 miles. Seas were one to two feet. He said we would have gone out another mile if seas were calmer. Both my wife & I are experienced. The seas turned rather quickly and we had to return in seas with 3’ to 4’ waves. Capt. Terry handled the boat like a Pro. Capt. Terry... More
