Dock wisdom

·

Stump Pass is the best fishing access point on Manasota Key — the pass changes with every tide.

·

Stone crab season (October–May) is the highlight of Charlotte County — buy direct from boats at Englewood docks.

·

Charlotte Harbor behind the island is one of Florida's great estuaries — manatees, dolphins and tarpon all year.

·

Englewood area has fewer charters than Boca Grande but shorter wait times and more personalized trips.
