Englewood Fishing Charters

Fish Lemon Bay, Stump Pass, and the Manasota Key flats.

Fishing Englewood

Englewood’s water connects Lemon Bay, Stump Pass, and the flats along Manasota Key. Protected bay water and pass access give Captain Matt options for building an inshore trip around wind and tide.

Snook, redfish, trout, and pompano are regular local targets. Mangrove shorelines, grass flats, sandy potholes, and moving water near the pass all create distinct opportunities throughout the year.

Fall and winter can be especially productive for redfish, while spring brings strong snook fishing as water temperatures rise.

Captain’s Englewood tips

  1. Use Stump Pass only when conditions are safe and tides provide moving water.
  2. Look for redfish around shallow grass and potholes during fall and winter.
  3. In spring, work mangrove shorelines patiently for snook during higher water.
