I'm captain Erick Joseph a full-time fishing guide serving the waters of Lemon Bay and the surrounding waters of Charlotte Harbor.

In 1986 Lemon Bay located in Englewood Florida the smallest of the 5 Charlotte Harbor aquatic preserves, was designated as an aquatic preserve. Lemon Bay is a long,    narrow, shallow waterway that has two gulf passes and 7 tributaries flowing in. Lemon Bay aquatic preserve consists of approximately 73 square miles. With this amount of water, Lemon Bay is a tropical gem. The blue waters and the abundance of wildlife will take your breath away.

Fishing in Lemon Bay is a wonderful experience as it offers inlets, bays, tidal creeks, beaches grass flats, bridges, docks, mangrove islands, and oyster bars. This diversity allows anglers to fish many techniques from live bait consisting of shrimp, pinfish, crabs, whitebait, cut bait, or using artificial lures. While fishing lemon bay you can expect to fish for snook, trout, and redfish although it is not uncommon to catch jacks, mackerel, and snapper, in fact, Lemon Bay is home to over 200 species of fish.

CAPT. ERICK JOSEPH


Lemon Bay offers great spotted Sea Trout fishing. Consisting of networks of bays, mangroves, flats, and miles of thick grass our estuary makes a perfect habitat for the fanged tooth. They are known for blowing up on topwater plugs. They are great fish that can be taken on a variety of baits. It is not unusual to find other exciting Florida game fish species when fishing trout holes.
