Pine Island Sound lies between Fort Myers and the barrier islands of Sanibel, Captiva, North Captiva, Cayo Costa and Boca Grande. Thousands of acres of grass flats provide habitat and hiding places for dozens of species of gamefish. Spring and early summer find tarpon moving through the area on their way north to spawn. Redfish, Snook, Jacks and Ladyfish haunt the flats throughout the year – although summer and fall are the best times to find tailing Reds. The quiet approach afforded by Captain Blake’s flats boat lets you sneak right up to feeding fish. Few things match the thrill of sight-fishing to a tailing Redfish, lurking Snook or holed-up SeaTrout.

Captain Blake Matherly guides fly fishers and light tackle anglers in pursuit of gamefish. The 17ft. flats boat is perfect for a group of 3 anglers. There is a casting platform as well as poling platform, and livewell for the bait. We also have all Safety Equipment necessary, including life jackets, flares, VHF Radio and fire extinguishers. SW Florida is without a doubt a top fishing destination. Captain Blake specializes in backcountry fishing, flats fishing, river fishing, inshore and nearshore fishing. With a Private Chart...
