Redfish in Southwest Florida

The expansive mangroves and grass flats of Charlotte Harbor provides perfect habitat for redfish (red drum). Bull Bay, Turtle Bay and Pine Island Sound produce consistent redfish action. We fish for redfish with fly rods and light spinning gear. Flies are mostly sub surface baitfish and crab patterns but redfish will take top water offerings like sliders and gurglers too. Lures are typically soft plastic on jig heads, bucktails or swim baits that imitate crabs or fin fish. The most effective way to catch redfish is to blind cast to areas you think they might be holding in. They love potholes and troughs near oyster shells especially if the water is moving. We pole or use the trolling motor to get into casting range without spooking the fish. Redfish are excellent eating fish. Check the Florida F&WC website for current redfish regulations.

Our charters include all the needed tackle and gear but feel free to bring your own along if you wish.  Soft drinks and snacks are provided.  Please bring a light jacket or raincoat, sunscreen and sunglasses.  If at all possible please do not wear black soled shoes or boots; they really mark up the deck of the boat, thank you.
How to Find Obsession Charters in SW Florida: Due to changing weather and fishing conditions we use one of several Charlotte Harbor boat launches.  After booking your charter it is best to call or e-mail Capt. Dave a day or two prior to your trip to finalize where to meet.
