Florida Green Vacations

GREEN VACATION DESTINATIONS:

Charlotte Harbor, Lemon Bay, The Ditch into Snook Alley (Venice Inlet), Blackburn Point

With our convenience in location to our logistical movements through use of trailers or power boating, our kayaks can be transported to almost anywhere you wish to go so that you can go where the fish are. Offering trips to throughout the Sharks Tooth Coast and surrounding waters of Charlotte Harbor to Blackburn Point. You can target spotted Seatrout, snook, redfish, flounder, black drum, pompano, sheepshead, tarpon, mangrove snapper, jack crevalles and shark.

We have spots in Lemon Bay area where we can cast to "tailing" redfish whenever the tide is right. Imagine gliding by a school of tailing redfish, stroking a slight turn in a cast engulfed by one of the tails, in a fantastic show of rod against red and you in the middle of this action, surrounded by now scattering reds! “FISH ON!”

Sarasota Bay

Sarasota Bay is a thriving ecosystem with dynamic flows into this body of water located in Sarasota, FL. These dynamic flows (tidal changes through open inlets and passes) allows for a variety of fishing situations, including beautiful grass flats, shallows and mangrove islands.

Spring to summer, targeting or sight fishing trout’s, redfish, snook through moving columns of greenbacks on the flats and in the shallows. Fall through winter, snook to tarpon can be targeted up creeks, rivers and canals. Sarasota Bay offers other species to include pompano, permit, flounder, jack crevalles, sheepshead, black drum and mangrove snapper, on a regular basis.

Brackish water Exotics

Snook Haven

While the Sarasota through Charlotte county is best known for its saltwater fishing, there are abundant freshwater opportunities waiting to those whom would wish to be one with nature; eye-to-eye in a kayak with an American Alligator is something you will write home about. Historical Snook Haven launches you into the wilds of days gone by in an adventure in angling for both freshwater to saltwater species. The Myakka river, tidal at launch point, was once a filming set for Weismuller in the thirties bringing Tarzan into the conversations of the time. Filming locations were chosen for the Snook Haven area because of its wild attributes to Africa. Largemouth bass, bluegill, tilapia, sunshine bass, Shellcracker, speckled perch and channel catfish are approached above the launch point and on the ebb through low tide with tarpon, snook and small sharks with an inflow or high tide. The best of two worlds flowing down to one float trip on the mighty Myakka River. Wild hogs, Florida panthers, Bald Eagles and exotic birds to turkey share the banks to sky along your float another angling adventure in living life to the fullest, in memories to pass on from Green Florida Eco Tours.

An Expedition On the Boards;

Pier Angling from Pelagic to Sharks, Venice, Florida & El Jobean

Venice City Pier:

Depending on the time of day to the season of the year, this is an opportunity to fish the boards from the Venice City Pier. Located at Sharky’s on the Pier an infamous beachside restaurant with nightly live music and dancing, On the Boards at the T-head you can have a chance of catching almost anything that swims in the Gulf of Mexico. The Venice City Pier is a free pier in that no costs to you is needed, nor are fishing licenses. Following the rules of the pier and catching fish are all that is needed, unless your looking for advice and a chance to come out with us and catch the big one at Sharky’s. Targeting King Mackerels (in season or “the run”), Tarpon to Cobia and the granddaddy of them all, “Jaws” come nightfall. Bull sharks to monster Hammers in the eight-foot plus range is but a common occurrence; why do you think the place is called Sharky’s on the Pier.

“The romantic notion of a moon-light swim is not such a good idea, for sharks turn on from dusk till dawn!”

Over 14 varieties of sharks have been caught from on the boards of the Venice City Pier.

Why not let one of use direct you to your catch of a prize to always remember.

El Jobean Pier:

Located at the mouth of the Myakka River and crossing the skinnies of Charlotte Harbor lies the old railroad tracks turned into a fantastic catch to those in lure of snook to tarpon, the El Jobean Pier. Bring the kids out along with the entire family for a Crabbing Expedition where Blue crabs rule and sheepshead to snapper abound. Cobia and sharks, rays to manatees share the waters surrounding this location. A great way to get away and inexpensive too.

Stump Pass Shelling

A blend of beach to sky to pounding waves as you trek across the sands of time in finding some of the most beautiful shells of this world from the treasures of the Gulf of Mexico. Natural filling or dredging by Mother nature use to give one pilot through these straights into the harbor until of recent when our Corp. of engineers opened the old passage to a professional grade. Known to commercial angler and pirates from our past for the swift currents bringing a bounty of shells from the deep to the shore, as well the fishing for most fish found traversing bay to open water is phenomenal. Cobia, sharks, tarpon and king to trout, Spanish, blues, flounder and an abundant of other species migrating these passages frequently.
