Charlotte Harbor & the Gulf Islands is knowned world wide as one of the world’s top sport fishing destinations. Charlotte Harbor is Florida’s second-largest open water estuary and is formed by the blending of saltwater from the Gulf of Mexico with freshwater from the Peace and Myakka rivers. This supports an important ecological breeding ground for numerous fish such as tarpon, snook, redfish, barracuda, cobia and grouper.
Deep-sea, back-bay and flats fishing bring dedicated anglers to the Charlotte Harbor area in search of their own personal records or International Game Fish Association world records.
