Nearshore Fishing local reefs, rock piles and structures
Charlotte Harbor Nearshore Fishing
Nearshore fishing in Southwest Florida can make for some of the most rewarding and exhilarating fishing adventures found anywhere. In the Boca Grande and Charlotte Harbor area, exciting species are waiting just 5 – 8 miles offshore in artificial reefs, structures and rock piles. Captain Austin knows exactly where to take your group to the best spots and will expertly and patiently instruct you (if needed) on the best way to wrestle in your catch. With Captain Austin, look forward to having one of the best experiences you’ve ever had in nearshore fishing.
Catching Grouper, Snapper, and Pelagic Species such as Cobia, Permit, and Tuna can be a great challenge to reel in. You’ll also get to enjoy an extra benefit as they are a tasty fish to eat.
With a nearshore adventure, you can schedule a minimum length of 5 hours up to an 8 hour expedition, whatever fits your group with their interest and schedule.
