Gulf of America Fishing Charters delivers a personalized fishing experience in the productive waters of Weeki Wachee, Florida. Led by Captain Larry Wentz, a lifelong local with over 10 years of experience, each trip is built on real knowledge of Hernando County’s rivers, shallow flats, and coastal estuaries. His approach is simple—put guests on fish, keep the trip comfortable, and make sure everyone leaves with a great story to tell.
These waters are home to some of Florida’s most sought-after inshore species. Depending on the season, you can target Redfish cruising the flats, Snook holding tight to structure, and Speckled Trout feeding across open grass beds. Black Drum and Sheepshead are also common catches, offering steady action throughout the year. For anglers looking to try something different, scalloping trips are available during the season, giving families and groups a fun and interactive way to enjoy the water.
Trips are fully customizable and suited for all experience levels. Whether it’s your first time holding a rod or you’re looking to fine-tune your skills, Captain Larry provides clear guidance without overcomplicating the process. Families are always welcome, and the relaxed pace makes it easy for kids and beginners to stay engaged from start to finish.
You’ll fish aboard one of two well-equipped boats. The G3 1850 is perfect for smaller groups and shallow water access, while the 27-foot Dek Kat offers extra space, speed, and comfort for those wanting a smoother ride. Both setups are designed to get you to the right spots quickly and safely.
All fishing licenses are included, so you can focus on the experience without worrying about paperwork. Just bring your food, drinks, sun protection, and you’re ready for a great day on the water. Morning and afternoon trips are available to match your schedule. The captain adjusts locations and techniques based on current conditions to give you the best chance at success. You’ll also get helpful tips along the way to improve your fishing skills.
If you’re planning a trip to Weeki Wachee and want a local guide who knows where the fish are and how to find them, Gulf of America Fishing Charters is a solid choice for a productive and enjoyable day outdoors.
