Top-Rated Boca Grande Fishing Guide
About Southwest Shorelines Charter Company
Quality Equipment and Gear!
Our charters are outfitted with top-quality Reaper Rods paired with reliable Florida Fishing Product reels, with setups that vary in caliber depending on the type of fishing we’ll be doing that day. Whether we’re targeting inshore species or chasing something bigger, you’ll be equipped with the right tools for the job. Every rod and reel is carefully rigged and prepared by Captain Matt himself, so all you have to do is cast, relax, and enjoy a stress-free day on the water.
Live Bait
At the heart of every successful fishing trip is quality bait—and we've got it covered. Captain Matt personally catches live bait before each charter, ensuring we’re ready to target the hottest bite. The type of bait used will vary depending on the species we’re after and the season, giving you the best chance at landing your catch. With over 20 years of experience fishing the waters of Charlotte Harbor, Captain Matt brings expert knowledge and local insight to every trip, putting you right where the fish are biting.
Where we fish
