Fly Fishing FL – Charters and Tours
Fly Fishing FL runs a 1996 Maverick Mirage Flats boat (beautifully restored in 2023), based out of Punta Gorda. She can take up to two guests and is powered by a new four-stroke Yama engine. The 70 HP outboard offers a maximum cruising speed of 35 knots and a hydraulic engine jack for access to the shallow flats.
The vessel is equipped with a live bait well, which can also be used for additional cold storage. She sports a GPS plotter/fishfinder combo, which also provides regional information via satellite, such as weather, tides, marinas, and waterfront restaurants. Her most important feature is the ability to run and float in just over a foot of water. This offers her guests an incredible view of local marine life and the sea floor.
Your captain, Roger Gendron, is an Orvis-endorsed fishing guide with over 30 years' experience and is a certified "Florida Friendly" eco-conscious guide by the University of Florida.
