INSHORE FISHING EXPERIENCES

WHICH FISHING EXPERIENCE FITS YOUR GROUP?

No two fishing trips are the same because no two groups are the same. Some families are looking to catch their first redfish and make lifelong memories together, while other anglers want to sight fish, throw artificials, and chase the biggest fish we can find. Select the experience that best matches the groups goals.

I'll customize the trip to give your group the best possible day on the water.

FLORIDA'S SALTWATER FLATS

Florida's shallow saltwater flats are one of the best places in the Gulf to sight fish redfish, snook and trout. 

Crystal-clear water, healthy grass flats, mangrove shorelines, and oyster bars let us spot fish before making the cast, creating an exciting and unforgettable private inshore fishing charter experience.

OUR BOAT - BUILT FOR THE FLATS

Tightlines charter inshore flats fishing charter boat. Skinny water fishing charters

SKINNY WATER FISHING MACHINE!

Purpose built here on the Gulf Coast by T&B Boatworks, specifically for our flats and mangrove shorelines. The 19' Florida Fisher was built with one thing in mind, finding big fish in shallow water! Its shallow draft lets us quietly reach grass flats, mangrove shorelines and oyster bars that many larger boats simply can't fish. Comfortable for four anglers to sight cast big redfish, snook and tarpon as they cruise the mangrove edges and flats.
