Enjoy Florida, and this sub-tropic paradise, with its abundance of wildlife and exquisite charm. The southwest Florida area encompasses Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee and Collier counties, it is one of the fastest growing regions in the country, for its climate, the abundance of mangrove islands, shoreline and clearwater grass flats, wildlife, and of course, because of the region's legacy as a fishing hot spot. Boca Grande, Florida is called the Tarpon capital of the world.
Inshore Flats, Saltwater Light Tackle & Fly Fishing
Some of Florida's finest saltwater fishing occurs in the southwest. This area of Florida has some of the best backcountry and flats fishing in the state, using light tackle or fly fishing equipment is angling at its best. The southwestern area of Florida's extensive network of bays, mangrove islands and tidal creeks that permeate the region present angling challenges to the accomplished angler as well as the novice. There are hundreds of miles of shoreline, oyster bars and acres of sea-grass flats that attract an abundance of baitfish and saltwater game fish. The canals, bridges and numerous boat docks that also populate our area present their own unique fishing challenge to every angler.
The Game Fish
Roaming these waters are four of Florida's most sought after game fish, the Tarpon, Snook, Redfish and the Spotted Sea Trout. Thousands of anglers come to southwest Florida each year for the chance at a Grand Slam, catching a fish of each species in a single day. In addition to the fishing, Florida's wildlife helps to provide an extraordinary aesthetic experience. Birds of prey, bald eagles, ospreys and wading birds commonly observed include snowy egrets, reddish egrets, great blue herons, white and snowy ibis, and roseate spoonbills. Dolphins, manatees and sea turtles in the summer are usually seen on almost every trip.
