Equipment

Blue Line Fishing Charters LLC is very excited to have partnered with IMC Boatworks and own the first Rogue 24.

The 2019 Rogue 24 is a brand new and fully custom boat built for comfort and fishing. It is 24’ long with a wide beam allowing plenty of space inside of the boat to move around and never feel crammed, even with larger groups. With the Rogue 24 being fully customizable, Capt. Keith was able to design nearly every aspect about the layout of the boat in order to ensure maximum comfort, best fishability, and safety. The comfort comes from a large cushioned seating area all in the front of the boat that provides seating for everyone on the trip. In addition to the comfortable seating, there is also a folding Bimini top over the seats to provide shade during those hot summer days.

The fishability on this boat is second to none, Capt. Keith was able to design the livewells exactly how he wanted in order to ensure theres plenty of room for every bait, and that they are positioned in the most practical places to quickly baits rods when the bite is hot. There is a full tackle station with all gear organized and easy to access in order to rig rods quickly and efficiently when the inevitable broken line happens. With plenty of space on the boat it is also easy to maneuver 360 degrees around the boat in order to land your trophy tarpon with ease. This boat also has a shallow draft in order to target fish in our shallow Southwest Florida waters, and an oversized Mercury outboard to get us to the fish quickly. The Rogue 24 is equipped with a 10’ Power Pole, the latest Lowrance GPS, and a Minn Kota trolling motor, everything you need for an amazing fishing charter.

The most important aspect is safety and that came through in the design of the Rogue 24, carrying a lot of deadrise the entire length of the boat. That means the ride through rough water is comfortable and smooth, the Rogue 24 can handle any seas Southwest Florida has to offer. With the size of the Rogue 24 it is extremely stable in any conditions and with multiple people moving throughout the boat. I also designed the layout to not have any decks in the boat. This means that you can walk the entire way around the boat with no steps to look out for, and when you’re fishing you are inside of the boat the entire time instead of standing on top of the boat. Basically there is no risk of falling off the boat or tripping on anything while fighting your trophy fish. The Rogue 24 is sure to be the premier charter boat in Southwest Florida, this is the first of many more to come.

Florida Fisher Skiff

Captain Keith is excited to grow Blue Line Fishing Charters by adding another boat to the fleet. This boat is a 19’ Florida Fisher tunnel hull skiff. If you’re looking for the ultimate shallow water fishing experience this boat is for you. This hull is designed to thrive in the extremely shallow water areas around Cape Coral. The Florida Fisher skiff will allow us to access fish that most in the Southwest Florida area simply can’t get to. The Florida Fisher skiff will accommodate smaller groups that want to sight cast and target inshore fish. The tower gives Captain Keith a Birds Eye view to ensure that no sneaky tarpon, snook, or redfish can hide. There is a large livewell to hold all of the live bait needed for the day, or if you want to do some technical fishing there’s a large casting deck to comfortably cast any artificial baits including flies. Like the Rogue, the Florida Fisher is well equipped with a four stroke Mercury Outboard, Power Poles, and all other equipment needed to give you the best experience possible.

Fishing gear includes; G Loomis, Crowder and St. Croix rods equipped with Diawa and Penn spinning reels.

Florida fishing licenses and drinks (water, soda) are additionally provided.
