Some of the finest fishing in Southwest Florida happens inside the passes, away from the big waves.   Light tackle fishing in the backwater bays is as good as it gets. Fight huge snook, tarpon, hard fighting redfish and sea trout in shallow back bays.

Captain Craig Whitaker is a native Floridian. He has fished the local area for over 20 years and is a specialist in backwater light  tackle fishing. With his experience he brings great knowledge of the fish, their swimming patterns and their appetites! All of which makes for a great day of fishing.

Fish aboard my 2007 20' Lake & Bay Flatsboat equipped with the essentials for serious anglers. The boat is powered by a 300hp Mercury outboard with enough speed  to get you to the fish quick.
