941-623-5673Excellent flats between Charlotte Harbor and Gasparilla Sound.
Cape Haze sits between Charlotte Harbor and Gasparilla Sound, where expansive flats, mangrove shorelines, and protected coves give inshore anglers plenty of water to explore. The location is well positioned for adapting to wind and tide.
Snook, redfish, tarpon, and black drum are the primary targets. Shallow flats can hold cruising fish, while deeper cuts and shoreline points provide places to fish when the tide is moving.
Spring tarpon fishing is a special draw, but Cape Haze supports productive inshore charters throughout the year.
Redfish, snook, and black drum hold around protected shorelines and deeper edges.
Spring tarpon fishing builds alongside active snook and redfish on the flats.
Early starts offer warm-water snook, redfish, and seasonal tarpon opportunities.
Bait movement creates steady action around mangroves, points, and grass.
Year-round inshore fishing continues for redfish, black drum, and snook.
