Captain
Paul Halasz

Member since June 2021 Punta Gorda, United States
Background
Born and raised right here on the waters of Charlotte Harbor, I've spent my life exploring every flat, mangrove, and channel this area has to offer. Growing up local means more than just knowing the tides it's about understanding how this fishery changes with each season and what makes it so special. From chasing snook and redfish as a kid to guiding others to their personal best catches today, Charlotte Harbor has always been home. My goal is to share the beauty, history, and incredible fishing of this place with everyone who steps aboard.
Techniques
My preferred style would be the backwater and flats fishing for snook and redfish. I cover all the areas on the water though to also include targeting snapper and tarpon during the seasons.

We caught so many fish we lost count

VERIFIED   4 Hour Inshore (PM) on April 16, 2026
Captain Paul was the best. We were catching fish right after the bait hit the water.
