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.

John Thank You for your review. You were too good to me, YES we had very bad wind and high seas to hard to feel the bite in 4+ waves. I’m glad you were up to fishing in-shore . You did manage to boat several trout in the short time we had left to the trip. Lets try again on a calmer day, and do some gulf fishing I ‘am sure I can make you a believer.

We had a great day fishing with Captain Terry. We brought home 40 fish and easily throw back more than that. At our first fishing spot we started catching fish and it seemed to never stop until it was time to go. Captain Terry was very helpful, had a great selection of bait and coached us in how to catch fish. He accommodated our requests and made today very enjoyable, fun and memorable! Definitely will do again

Had a great day fishing with Capt. Terry. Caught a ton of fish, and very rarely went more than a couple minutes without getting a bite. Capt. Terry knows the fishing grounds well, is great with kids and overall is just a great captain!

The day turned out great. Small waves, lite winds. The fishing was very active. The sea Bass, and trigger fish will make your dinner extra special. Please let me know how the fish receipt turn out for the non fish eater in the family?
