Wade-fishing waist deep in Florida Bay near Marathon in the Keys in the 1960s, I had a stringer of mangrove snapper tied to my belt when suddenly, something tugging on the stringer spun me completely around. In those years of fishing, I have had only one personal experience with an aggressive shark. Most were so small as to be harmless, but at least two were longer than four feet - long enough to do serious harm.
On occasion, I have observed fish I would prefer not to catch (and will cut free rather than allow in my boat) - namely sharks. New Pass is one of two passes (the other is Big Pass) offering direct access to the Gulf of Mexico for boaters - and equally direct access for sharks to the richly fish-populated Sarasota Bay grass flats.Īs a native of this area, I have fished those flats for many of my 81 years. But that goes along with being young and foolish, right? That could be quite a chore on one or fewer legs!īefore I go any further, let me acknowledge that as a third-generation native of coastal Manatee and Sarasota counties, I have performed such risky stunts. Wille suggests that the owner of a waterfront house on Lido Key’s New Pass “jump off the dock and swim, then climb the ladder back to the dock.” Therefore you will be able to catch different types of fun and exciting fish while cruising through beautiful mangroves and watching herons, dolphins, stingrays, and manatees in their habitats.įin and Fly is one of a select group of guides that are licensed to fish in the Mosquito Lagoon.This is in response to a column by Herald-Tribune Business Editor Chris Wille of April 25, "A dream home on Lido Shores waterfront." I believe his remarks require an informed rebuttal.
Bay fishing charters are an amazing experience for all levels of angler, and the calm waters of our rivers and inshore waters are a perfect way to introduce children to the joys of fishing.
The year-round lagoon redfish population, and the fact that most of it never leaves shallow water, make the Mosquito Lagoon the most unique place in the world to fish for it.įin & Fly experienced captains offer inshore fishing charters in the scenic Mosquito Lagoon from Cape Canaveral Space Center to Titusville and New Smyrna Beach. An hour away from metropolitan Orlando, lies the “Redfish Capital of the World” – the Mosquito Lagoon, home to giant trout, hard-pulling black drum, and, of course, redfish.
