Fish Charlotte Harbor with Orvis-Endorsed Captain Roger Gendron

Fish with Orvis-endorsed fishing guide, Captain Roger Gendron. "Drop Your Fly Fishing" explores Charlotte Harbor from the Myakka and peace rivers to the north, to Matlacha, Pine Island Sound and Boca Grande to the south and west. Miles of mangrove shorelines border acres of skinny flats, bars, and coves that create a premier destination for passionate light tackle anglers. With Orvis endorsed Captain Roger Gendron, you can enjoy sight-casting in shallow water or entice strikes off the surface.

Select a day on our super shallow Hewes poling skiff, the ideal choice for stealthy fish hunting. Go solo or bring a partner. The 2-passenger limit offers enhanced opportunities for each angler. Alternatively, you can join Capt. Roger on his 22’ Ranger Bay boat, propelled by a 250 HP Yamaha. It comfortably accommodates up to 4 people and is equipped with a full complement of navigational electronics, including a GPS/plotter, fishfinder, and VHF radio, as well as a remote-controlled 80-lb thrust trolling motor for silent fish hunting.

Top-brand rods, reels, and all required tackle will be provided, along with fishing licenses for residents or visitors. However, you are welcome to bring your own fishing equipment if desired. Complimentary bottled water will be offered for your refreshment.

Join the game of stealth for an unforgettable day on these productive waters!
