Fly Fishing Southwest Florida doesn't get any better than this. Especially if you're fishing for Snook and Tarpon. The occasional Trout and Redfish are known to grab a fly on the lights as well!

For the uninitiated, home owners on the water will sometimes have submerged or overhead lights placed on their docks. The combination of bait attracting light and structure are snook magnets. It's not uncommon to see a few tarpon milling around as well especially since both are predominantly night time feeders so be ready to bow to the "silver king" (Can you find the fish in the background picture?!)

The lights around Pine Island, Matlacha, and the Caloosahatchee River hold fish all year long, making this one of my favorite things to do on Spirit Fly Charters. So if you want to escape the cold winter winds, your kids, or the office here's your ticket.

Step aboard my Beavertail Strike for a day plying the skinny waters of Matlacha, Pine Island Sound, and Charlotte harbor for the area's premier gamefish. I specialize in using all artificial baits whether it be fly fishing, soft plastics, or plugs. Without having to rely on catching bait and using my shallow drafting skiff we can run to the shallowest of flats and start fishing BEFORE everybody else. Sometimes we even beat the fish there and have to endure a gorgeous sunrise while the tide starts to turn. (Life can be terrible down here sometimes). Your charter will be custom tailored based upon a few phone calls before hand in regards to weather, tides, skill level, and target species. Everyone, regardless of their experience, is welcome to fish on my boat so don't hesitate to ask questions while we're on the water.
