- I've never fly fished. Can you teach me?
- Absolutely. A solid amount of our trips are with first-time fly anglers. We'll go over casting, line management, and presentation on the boat — and pick water that gives you the best chance of catching a fish on day one.
- How many anglers can come along?
- Up to 2 anglers per trip. The Mosquito skiff is built for fly fishing, which means one person on the bow at a time — but two anglers can absolutely share a day, swapping shots between fish.
- What's the best time of year to fish?
- Pine Island fishes year-round. Tarpon peak March through June when the migratory schools push through. Snook fish hard from spring through fall. Redfish are catchable every month of the year — and winter low tides are some of the prettiest sight-fishing of the season.
- Where do we launch from?
- Pine Island, Florida. Once you book, we'll send you a launch location, dock directions, and a packing list. Most trips meet at a public ramp on the island or in nearby Matlacha.
- Do you offer conventional (spinning) tackle?
- RescueFly Charters is fly-first — that's the focus. If you have a mixed group and want to throw spin gear part of the day, reach out and we'll talk through what works.
- What if the weather goes sideways?
- Safety first, every time. If a captain-call cancellation is needed for weather, you get a full refund or a free reschedule. We watch the forecast and reach out the day before if anything looks off.
- Cancellation policy?
- Deposits are refundable up to 7 days before your trip. Inside of 7 days, we'll do everything we can to reschedule.
