Fishing is on fire here in Placida Florida The Boca Grande Offshore Charters have been off the charts with Grouper, Snapper, Cobia, and much more. Triple Tail are here and all over the crab traps out in the Gulf. Are 6 & 8 hr offshore trips 25 + miles are yielding the best chance of keeper Grouper with 10 to 15 lb grouper being caught the last few trips. Other catches include Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Porgys, Key West Grunts, Cobia, Kingfish, Mahi-Mahi, and Gag Grouper. The 5 hr trips in a little closer have still been producing great numbers of fish and even scoring some nice Grouper . If your looking for a great day of fishing with a very consistent bite and bringing home dinner then the offshore trips are for you. On the Boca Grande Offshore Charters we offer many different trips depending on how far you want to go. As a rule the further you go the bigger some of the fish get. But sometimes it’s not all about how big. Either way on the offshore trips we catch a lot of fish and a great time is had by all. If your looking for a great day of fishing book Anchors Away Charters/Boca Grande Fishing Charters today!! BOCA GRANDE OFFSHORE CHARTERS The inshore Placida fishing Charters have been very consistent as well. Redfish, Snook, Trout have all been biting on our inshore trips. We have finally gotten a few cold fronts which have cooled down the waters and the fish are alot more willing to eat. This time of year also brings the lower tides which is game on if you can get to the real skinny water and fish the deeper pot holes. On our inshore trips we run a 18 ft Shallow Sport tunnel hull which is made to run in waters as shallow as 8 inches. This boat gives Anchors Away Charters the upper hand when fishing the shallow back country in Gasparilla Sound. Inshore fishing can be a little more laid back then fishing offshore, the bite can be a little slower at times but always an enjoyable day out on the water.

We can still catch them but they will have to be released. Boca Grande Inshore Fishing Charter ***Note/FYI*** Illegal offshore fishing charters are becoming a real problem in the state of Florida and the U.S. Coast Guard and FWC are really starting to crack down. When booking an offshore charter where you are going out past the 9 mile state waters and targeting reef fish or pelagics always ask the Captain to see his federal permits as well as his Captains license. It’s the law and a federal offense if these are not on the boat and current at all times. If the captain can’t produce them then it’s simple get off the boat. Also another game that the illegals play is they will tell you that you need to go out and purchase a fishing license and this should throw an immediate red flag. All Coast Guard Licensed Captain’s purchase a license that covers all passengers for fishing. And last there is the not clients but friend fishing trip. This is a no brainer and if suggested by a fishing charter when you call to book just hang up. This also could get not only the Capt but you in a lot of trouble. On all my charters my clients don’t have to ask because I always show them all of my credentials at the start of the trip. Capt Jeff Watkins
