Each trip emphasizes hands-on instruction, making these charters ideal for both beginners learning proper casting techniques and experienced anglers refining their approach to Florida's challenging inshore species.
Southwest Florida's backwaters fish best during moving tides, particularly the two hours before and after tide changes when gamefish become most active. Morning trips often provide calmer conditions and better visibility for sight fishing, while afternoon charters can be productive around structure during incoming tides. Water temperatures remain comfortable year-round, though summer months require early starts to avoid afternoon thunderstorms. Captain Josh adjusts techniques and locations based on seasonal patterns, wind conditions, and water clarity to maximize fishing success.
JP's Backwater Adventures provides all necessary equipment including spinning and fly rods, tackle, live and artificial baits, and Florida fishing licenses.
