Owned and operated by Captain Bruce Pollock, Edge Charters offers private fishing trips in the Everglades built around local knowledge, patience, and access that most guides simply cannot offer. Captain Bruce has spent a lifetime fishing Everglades National Park, with more than 50 years on these waters and over 20 years running professional charters. His connection to the backcountry flats, shallow channels, and fishery is deep, personal, and earned through decades of time on the water.

Edge Charters specializes in skinny water fishing throughout the Everglades and Islamorada backcountry. The skiff is designed to float in as little as 10 inches of water, allowing Captain Bruce to reach flats, channels, and backcountry areas that deeper boats are forced to avoid. That shallow draft means more opportunities for sight fishing, less pressure from other boats, and access to prime water where fish feed naturally.

Trips are fully private and customized to each group. Whether you are an experienced angler looking for technical flats fishing or a first-time guest wanting a relaxed day exploring the backcountry, each trip is tailored to your pace and goals. Target species include bonefish, tarpon, snook, and redfish, depending on conditions and season. Fly fishing trips are available by request and must be arranged in advance.

Edge Charters operates a stable and capable 24-foot Dorado skiff powered by a 200 HP Mercury engine. The boat provides a smooth ride, a spacious casting platform, quality rods and reels, live bait prepared ahead of time, and all required fishing licenses. Kids of all ages are welcome, and safety equipment is always provided.

What sets Edge Charters apart is experience, access, and a focus on quality over quantity. Captain Bruce guides fewer trips so he can give every guest his full attention. His goal is simple: put you on fish efficiently, fish water others cannot reach, and deliver a private Everglades fishing charter that feels personal, comfortable, and authentic from start to finish.

Fishing in the Everglades is about understanding tides, light, and water movement within a living ecosystem. Captain Bruce shares that knowledge throughout the day, helping guests learn while enjoying a calm, unhurried experience. If you are looking for a private Everglades fishing charter in Islamorada that offers skinny water access, guidance, and trips built around your preferences, Edge Charters delivers a backcountry fishing experience guests value.
