    Great trip, awesome weather and time.

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 5, 2026 • 4 adults

    Family of 4......He was great with our 2 young teenagers. Caught snook, catfish, trout, a small black grouper, snapper and a couple jack(grunt). All were catch and release. lost a couple baby sharks. We kept moving to other areas if they were not biting where we were at. Knowledgeable and we learnt a lot about fishing on the west coast. Thank you Capt. Charlie

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 24, 2026 • 4 adults

    Capt Charlie was great. He was very laid back. Communication was great. We were catching fish from the moment we left to the moment we were done. 6 out of 5. I highly recommend him. we caught catfish, snook, lady fish, red fish and snapper. Fresh seafood is on the menu for dinner later.

    Another great trip with Captain Charlie! We’ve been coming back year after year because he tailors every trip to what you want, whether that’s catching dinner or battling sharks. Friendly, professional, and always a great time on the water. Highly recommend!

    Captain Charlie is the Best

    Half Day Trip (AM) on May 5, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Brought my 11 yr old grandson to Sanibel and we had to go fishing!! Even though Mimi (thats me) caught the first fish in twenty seconds, we had a blast! Captain Charlie took us to several locations so we could catch (and wrestle with) different kinds of fish- jackfish, trout, a shark & more. it was my grandson’s best fishing day ever!
