Chris Yap5.0VerifiedGreat trip, awesome weather and time.
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 5, 2026 • 4 adultsFamily 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 May 5, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childBrought 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!
