World-Class Pine Island Inshore Fishing Charter

Reel in Redfish and Trout on Pine Island

Ready for some serious inshore action? Pine Island's got the goods, and we're here to put you on the fish. Our 4-hour charters are dialed in to target redfish, sea trout, and whatever else is biting. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, we've got you covered with all the gear, know-how, and local intel to make it happen. Let's break down what you can expect when you hop aboard with Thrill Of It All Charters.

What's the Deal on Deck?

Picture this: You're stepping onto a well-equipped boat at the crack of dawn, the smell of salt in the air and the promise of bent rods ahead. We kick off at 8 AM sharp, but if you're not an early bird, we've got afternoon trips too. You and up to four buddies can join in on the fun – perfect for a family outing or a day with your fishing crew. Don't sweat the small stuff; we're talking all-inclusive here. Rods, reels, bait, licenses – it's all sorted. Heck, we even throw in some grub and drinks to keep you fueled up. The name of the game is keeping it simple so you can focus on what matters: putting fish in the boat.

Hooks, Lines, and Skinny Water

Alright, let's talk tactics. We're working the inshore waters, which means we're in the redfish and trout's backyard. We'll be sight-casting in the shallows, drifting grass flats, and maybe even tossing some lines around oyster bars and mangroves. Light tackle is the name of the game here – it's all about finesse and feel. We'll show you how to work a popping cork, twitch a soft plastic, or slow-roll a spoon. And don't worry if you're green – our guides have the patience of saints and will have you casting like a pro in no time. The beauty of inshore fishing is that it's active and engaging. You're not just sitting around waiting for something to happen; you're constantly working your lure and scanning the water for signs of life.

Raves from the Regulars

"Captain Scott showed us an amazing time today fishing off Sanibel. We caught a lot of red fish, trout, snapper and snook. AWESOME time on a nice boat! Thanks, Scott! See you again soon!" - Heather

"My two brothers and brother in law and I booked a fishing trip with Scott while on vacation. I highly recommend Scott because of his intimate knowledge of the fishing areas around Captiva (where we were vacationing). Scott has a lot of experience and shared many stories from his time fishing these waters when he was a kid. The fish were biting the entire time and we had a really good haul by the end of the morning. He is well respected by many of the fellow charter fishermen as evidenced by the convos when we returned to the dock. He's a great guy to talk to and had us laughing through the duration of our trip. If you are looking for a great charter boat captain you won't be disappointed with Scott. Keep up the great work brother, we'll be reaching out next time we visit FL. 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼" - Alex

The Pine Island Grand Slam

Let's talk about what you're here for – the fish. On our Pine Island charters, we're mainly gunning for the inshore trifecta: snook, sea trout, and redfish. Each of these species brings something special to the table, and hooking into any one of them is sure to get your heart racing.

Snook are the rockstars of inshore fishing. These sleek, powerful fish are known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic fights. They love to hang around structure, so we'll be working docks, mangrove edges, and any other snags we can find. The best part? Snook are year-round residents, but they really turn on in the warmer months. When a big snook hits your lure, hold on tight – these bad boys can easily top 30 inches and put your drag to the test.

Sea trout, or spotted seatrout as they're officially known, are the bread and butter of inshore fishing. These speckled beauties are abundant, eager to bite, and tasty to boot (if you're into keeping a few for dinner). We'll target them over grass flats and sandy potholes, often using live bait or soft plastics under a popping cork. The 'gator' trout – the big ones over 20 inches – are prized catches that'll have you grinning from ear to ear.

Last but certainly not least, we've got redfish. These copper-colored bruisers are a sight to behold, especially when they're tailing in shallow water. Reds can be found year-round, but fall is prime time when they school up in big numbers. We'll sight fish for them in skinny water or work the edges of oyster bars and mangroves. When a big red takes off on a run, you'll understand why they're one of Florida's most sought-after gamefish.

Time to Get Your Fish On

Alright, folks, here's the deal – Pine Island's inshore waters are calling, and the fish are waiting.

That deposit might be non-refundable, but trust me, it's a small price to pay for the memories you'll make and the fish stories you'll tell.
