What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Englewood, Florida for the first time?

If you’re a first time fisherman, the intercoastal offers a nice place to get comfortable with your gear. If you’re experienced, the gulf is just right there and easy to access. March was a good time of year to go (March 23rd for us) as it was slightly cool to start, but warm and enjoyable enough and never TOO hot.

We have fished a few places in SW Florida in the past year. Englewood is a gorgeous community without the hectic feel of Naples or Ft Myers. We had fish on all day long. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a more laid back fishing day, where you catch a lot of fish, which is more of what my family enjoys.

We were warned! Cold fronts in the off-season can cause unexpectedly rough seas. They were about twice what the Captain was expecting... definitely made for a rough ride and I'm glad the kids decided to stay home.

Our half day charter on March 16 was fantastic. MM Charters was the best charter I've ever been on with a knowledgeable, friendly, patient Captain. Best part of our 10 day vacation!

If your looking for variety of game fish February is not the time however if you are looking for some delicious fish to eat for the week then definitely no issues!

If Tarpon fishing, be patient! A lot of boats fishing in Boca Grande pass, so it’s a lot of jockeying for position and waiting, the fish are there, but so are many other boats!

Was there to fish with kids and have a good time and we had plenty of both with great weather. Thanks Captain Tim we had a blast and kids are still talking about fish they caught.

Be prepared for anything, being from Wisconsin The windy 70 degree day in January was a shorts and tshirt day for us, The locals were all bundled up complaining of cold

Awesome time didn’t catch a lot of fish but captain Tim was a great help even kept Ed us out a little longer to try to get more catches

This was our first trip fishing in Florida and was extremely pleasant. Captain Mike was very patient and very helpful

Go with a good captain like Tim who knows the area well to ensure that you get the best experience.

Excellent captain in Heath Stone. Very knowledgible, friendly and helpful. Great boat and equipment and boat. Would recommend him to everyone. Duane Meanor.

Target fish selectively on their seasonal abundance and type of fishing methods.

Do ur homework and if u wanna catch big fish go deep sea fishing not near shore.
