With a focus on providing family friendly fishing adventures in the rich waters of Matlacha, FL, Rigid Fishing Charters provides customized fishing trips for anglers of all skill levels! Captain Joe’s expertise hones in on the inshore and backcountry waters where the waters are calm and the action is explosive. You don’t have to worry about getting sea sick when you’re fishing with Rigid Fishing Charters! Captain Joe invites you to experience the year round fishery that is Matlacha aboard his 20ft flats boat. She can comfortably fish up to 2 passengers, not including your Captain. Her shallow hull design allows Captain Joe access to skinny waters that most boats don’t have access to. These areas experience far less fishing pressure compared to the popular and well known spots, meaning the fish you’ll be catching are free to reach fully mature sizes! If conventional boats tried to squeeze into these shallow waters, they’d run aground before lines could even get in the water. Snook, Cobia, Jack Crevalle, Seatrout, Redfish, Black Drum, Shark, Tarpon, Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, and many more species are caught consistently throughout the year aboard Rigid Fishing Charters. The time of year will determine which species are biting most actively, but Captain Joe will have your crew geared up to target the species experiencing their peak season. Rigid Fishing Charters’ local knowledge takes the guesswork out of your day on the water! Captain Joe has immersed himself in the waters of Matlacha, he’s become intimately familiar with the seasonal migration and feeding patterns of the local gamefish. You’re in qualified hands when you reserve a South Florida fishing trip with Rigid Fishing Charters! Book your trip today, Captain Joe is excited to meet you at the dock.

Had a great time and we caught many species. The trout bite was on all day and we found snook, jacks and a nice cobia we weren’t expecting. Joseph really knows the area and is great to fish with. Highly recommend this charter!
