Welcome to Barnhill Charters, servicing the Boca Grande, Placida and Pine Island area. We offer full and half day backwater fishing trips which offer you the opportunity to create lasting memories as you catch Redfish, Snook and more. We also offer near coastal trips targeting species such as Grouper, Flounder, Shark, Tarpon, and more. Enjoy your day aboard our 24ft boat equipped with fighting chair, casting platform and livewell. We offer many different fishing techniques including drift, trolling, spinning and bottom fishing. We will supply everything you need including rods, reels, tackle, bait and your fishing license. We are a family friendly charter and welcome children of all ages. Placida is located just north of Fort Myers and Cape Coral, Florida – near the Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park. With so many canals, bays, and estuaries in the area there really is no bad spot to go fishing. Captain Warren Barnhill has years of experience fishing the backwaters of Boca Grande, Pine Island, and Placida. He also offers nearshore and offshore Gulf of Mexico trips as well! Barnhill Charters is owned and operated by Captain Warren. Your group of five are welcome to come aboard the 24’ Center Console for a great day of fishing. With a fighting chair, casting platform, and livewell – this is a fishing machine equipped with all top-quality GPS/Fishfinder tech and USCG Certified Safety Features. We fish for several Gulf of Mexico species, including Redfish, Grouper, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Flounder, Snook, Tarpon, Sharks, and more! Captain Warren invites anglers of all ages and skill level to join him for a day of fishing. Trips are either four hours or eight hours, and this Gulf of Mexico fishing charter offers the best backcountry fishing experience you can find in the area! Included in the cost of the trip is your fishing license, all rods and reels, bait and lure, and Captain Warren will clean and bag your catch. You’ll want to bring food, drinks, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and wear appropriate clothing (light jacket or rain gear – we fish rain or shine!). Whether you’re looking for a Boca Grande fishing charter or Pine Island fishing charter – Barnhill Charters offers a premium full-service option for a great day of fishing. Fishing with a 4th generation Florida native is hard to find, and we know you’ll have a great time with us! We love seeing the joy of a first-time angler reeling in a catch, or an old pro releasing a Tarpon to fight another day. Whatever your trip requires, let Captain Warren customize your trip for a great day of fishing! Book today!

Half Day Trip - Backcountry (PM)
Honestly the best experience we had in Florida. Captain Warren was very helpful, he did all the work for us because we are basically clueless and he did it happily! He talked about the fish and really made the day great. We are a pretty sarcastic group and he was able to handle us very well! Lol. Honestly wish we had more time because we would do it again! He said he enjoys taking kids so maybe next year when I come back I’ll bring my son!

We hit about eight different spots to find specific fish. and found them pretty quickly! Everything was biting except the red fish. Capt. Barnhill was a lot of fun to spend the day with, and the full day trip was perfect for us.
