Capt. Bo Johnson is a native of Southwest Florida and has been in touch with the species he hunts for his whole life. He is an expert in stalking fish on the shallow flats of Pine Island, Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, Boca Grande and Charlotte Harbor. His days on the water number in the hundreds. He has done multiple TV shows with "On the Fly" and "Tales of the Everglades Angler", Regional shows showcasing the types of fishing Capt. Bo Johnson does best.

He specializes in fishing with artificial baits, whether it's with a fly, spoons, jigs or plastics. There is no greater thrill than sneaking up on a tailing redfish and presenting the perfect cast and " fish on "!
He also fishes the same surrounding areas for the elusive snook; this fish is the ultimate tackle tester. An excellent fighter, he'll test your skill as angler and fight like a largemouth Bass on steroids. Seatrout also prowl these same lush grass flats, ready and willing to slam any thing that makes a commotion on the top of the water, be it plug or fly. Not far offshore, Permit, Cobia, and tripletail [buoy fish] inhabit the trap lines. These fish are all excellent adversaries on either light tackle or a fly rod. And we can't forget the Silver King [The Tarpon]. These fish abound here in the early spring to mid- summer. The only thing more exciting than stalking fish on the flats is stalking fish that are 7 plus feet in length and weighing up to 225 lbs.

Capt. Bo fishes these monsters on the beaches, in the passes, and on the flats. Here on the flats these fish can be found in less than 2 feet of water. Laid up in potholes as they float like silvery logs, motionless until the fly reaches his peripheral vision. He turns… he's on it… strip, strip, strip. Before you know it, he's into the backing and jumping like a lightning bolt from below! This is the ultimate angling rush! These fish put on one of the best aerial shows that there is to be seen.

If this all sounds good to you and you want to experience the ultimate in sight fishing, you owe it to yourself to take a trip to Southwest Florida. There is no other place were such a diverse amount of angling opportunities could confront you in one of the most beautiful estuaries in the United States. So come wet a line in the crystal clear waters and lose yourself in a true angling adventure.
