Fort De Soto Fishing Charters

Fishing Fort De Soto Park is one of the most famous places in our area to go fishing. Spanish Sardine Fishing Charters is located at O’Neill’s Marina which is just a few minutes by boat to Fort De Soto Park and the beautiful, fish-filled waters surrounding its islands. The park consist of 1,136 acres made up of five interconnected keys. Keys are a small, low-elevated, sandy island on the surface of a coral reef. The keys that makes Fort De Soto Park are St. Christopher key, Madeline Key, St. Jean Key, Bonne Fortune Key, and the most famous of them all Mullet Key. These keys are home to many different beach plants, lots of mangroves, wetlands, palm hammocks, hardwoods and scores of native plants. This makes Fort De Soto a great place to go fishing for Redfish, Snook and Trout. I’ve had plenty of fishing charters to Fort De Soto Park limiting out on Trout and Redfish within a few hours.
