Welcome to Blackwater Charters website. Come join me for an unforgettable fishing trip. I specialize in light tackle saltwater, and fly fishing from the backcountry of the 10,000 Islands to flats of Pine Island Sound and the bay system of Charlotte Harbor and Boca Grande. I have pick-up locations out of Ft Myers, Marco Island, Pine Island, Punta Gorda and Boca Grande. I like to target big fish. During warm months, tarpon, sharks, snook, redfish, cobia, king mackerel and big jacks are the main species sought after. Most of the winter months are devoted to redfish, trout, snook and grouper. Whether your a beginner or a seasoned pro, I am an instructional guide who will provide the knowledge and techniques needed for a successful and enjoyable fishing trip.

That's me releasing a tarpon caught in Charlotte Harbor near Boca Grande Pass.
I have organized my website to help you make an informed decision about choosing a captain and organizing your trip.Please browse the website to answer any questions you might have. I run charters from the 10,000 Islands to Charlotte Harbor and fish three pro-redfish tournament series. So, if you like what we have to offer please try to book with as much advance notice as possible to assure of an available date. April, May and June tarpon trips need to be booked a few months in advance since these dates are the most sought after of the year. After browsing the rest of the pages, find out what's biting by reading my fishing report. I report on what we have been catching in Southwest Florida from Charlotte Harbor to Ft Myers, Boca Grande and Marco Island. I try to update the report every week or two.
Here is what were catching right now!
We landed 4 tarpon in the 200-220 pound range this week. This tarpon was one of three giant 200 pound class fish that Paul Voisin caught in one 6hr trip. (5-28-09)
We caught this large 120-130 pound tarpon on 4-16-09. It was 57 degrees that morning.
We released this large tarpon on 5-21-09
Right now I'm still 100% tarpon fishing every day. We have a lot of large tarpon in the Boca Grande area this year and my customers landed two more this last week over 200 lbs. That makes 8 over the 200 lb mark landed this season.(6-15-09). Check out the Fishing Report for more details.
A nice Tarpon caught in Boca Grande Pass in July 2008.
Another nice Amberjack from the offshore water of Boca Grande pass. (1-8-09)
Check out the new Tarpon Fishing Charter videos that some of customers have sent me.

Due to a high number of spam e-mails, I miss a lot of important messages from potential customers so if your serious about booking a fishing charter I'd suggest you give me a call or at least put "booking request" or "fishing charter info" in the title of your e-mail. Thanks.

*Try some of our late "off season" redfish and snook fishing. I recommend trying Pine Island for big redfish or Marco Island for snook. Excellent fishing with reasonable rates for trips and lodging! September-December.
* Or try some sight fishing on the flats of Pine Island Sound. We fish out of a shallow daft poling skiff for redfish, trout and sharks with very light tackle. Best fishing is November through February.
*If you can't fit in a tarpon trip this spring don't forget that some of the best tarpon fishing of the year is July-September. This time of year has the lowest lodging rates of the year!
