Florida fishing charter tarpon fishing Tampa Bay, Boca Grande, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tarpon Springs to Homosassa Orlando and the Disneyworld area. Light tackle and flyfishing the saltwater flats and backcountry at its finest.

Fishing charters on the Florida west central and southwest Florida Gulf coast offer world class saltwater flats and backcountry fishing. Gamefish such as tarpon, redfish, snook and trout, are year round prey to light tackle and flyfishing enthusiasts from around the globe. Florida fishing charters offer something for every angler, from novice to expert. Our Florida fishing charters are intensified by the local knowledge of Florida fishing guide Captain Robert McCue, a full time professional, 8-time world record breaking Florida fishing guide.

While Florida fishing in the inshore, nearshore, flats, and backcountry saltwaters of Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Boca Grande, Tarpon Springs, and the surrounding Orlando area (Disneyworld) you will be astonished by the beauty of the Gulf of Mexico and her surrounding tributaries. Relax and enjoy the posh Florida outdoors as Capt. McCue guides you with a professional stealth approach.

The white sugar-sand beaches of the barrier islands of Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and Boca Grande are replaced by gin-clear grass flats. With depths dropping about one foot per mile, these prestigious Florida grass flats extend as far as 10 miles out into the Gulf of Mexico and act as the home plate for the ultimate in fishing Florida flats and backcountry using light tackle and flyfishing methods. In the southern portion of our home fishing grounds, black mangrove lined creeks and rivers dominate the shoreline but get replaced by golden sawgrasses and spring- fed creeks as you travel northward.

Clear spring- fed creeks and the saltwater of the Gulf of Mexico create two unique features. First, the mix of fresh water and saltwater create delicate estuaries in which Florida gamefish mature and feed . Second, the mix creates hard bottom, oyster bars, rocks and plush seagrasses of all types. These natural structures serve as prime feeding areas for Florida game fish and act as a deterrent to the inexperienced who haven't spent years learning the water. Hence less fishing pressure, fewer fishing guides and more productive Florida fishing charters.

Our area of Florida is deep in history and has served as the fishing grounds of native Florida Indians and celebrities such as baseball legends Ted Williams and Babe Ruth. Small fishing villages line the Gulf coast to the north. On our Florida fishing charters you may actually view the haunts of Florida Indian mounds, and the historical places of world famous Florida fishing guests. In addition, you may view your query in the gin-clear water before you cast....major intoxication!!!!

A great deal of wildlife can be enjoyed on our Florida fishing charters. Eight species of heron, three species of egrets, two species of ibis, ten species of terns and gulls, brown and white pelicans, Man-O-Wars, cormorants, sandhill cranes, osprey, American bald eagles, black skimmers, and on occasion roseate spoonbills frequent the area. Manatees inhabit the waters and are most often sighted during the winter and early spring. In the upper reaches of the rivers and springs, gators on occasion can be spotted sunning and basking along the shorelines.

The water in this area of Florida is very shallow. For this reason we use a highly specialized flats boat to access the flats and backcountry waters our Florida gamefish frequent. The flats boat also offers the advantage of its mobility in the running of our fishing charters. The "Bounty Hunter" can be easily trailered to the fish and plays an essential role to the guide in following the tarpon along its migration paths from Boca Grande to Homosassa. Further, we are able to come to you for your convenience.
