Meet The Captain
8th Generation Floridian And Englewood Native Michael Wise

THE BEST FLORIDA FISHING
IS ON THE GULF COAST
BOCA GRANDE INSHORE FISHING AREA
TURTLE BAY
Turtle Bay is a large bay with mostly shallow water. There are several deep spots in Turtle Bay as well, but navigation can be tricky if you don't have an experienced Captain. When in this area we will typically be catching Trout, Snook and Redfish.
BULL BAY
Bull Bay is an isolated, world famous fishing bay, surrounded by untouched land. Past Presidents have come to this area specifically to fish these waters. The bay is mostly shallow water, with deep pockets and pot holes. During the winter months large amounts of Snook rest in these pockets for high volume fishing.
YOUR CHARTER STARTS WITH YOU
WE HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE, BUT IT'S YOUR JOURNEY
At Wise Guy Charters our trip begins with you, the guest and your needs. We would be happy to guide you to a variety of locations that don't necessarily qualify as a fishing trip. Lunch or dinner at Cabbage Key? Sounds good. A beautiful sunset off of Englewood Beach to see the dolphins? Sounds good too!
Wise Guys Charters is committed to giving you the best fishing or boating experience Florida has to offer. The Gulf Coast is filled with unique locations unlike any other in the world. We'd like to show them to you.
Contact us now to see where we can go, together.
