If you're going to cast a line in Fort Myers, look no further than Bay West Fishing. Your guide for the day is Captain Brett, allowing you to benefit from their angling experience. He offers charters in the Gulf of America, inshore, nearshore, and offshore up to 9 miles in the Gulf.
The fish in these waters include Red Grouper, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Yellowtail Snapper, Goliath Grouper, Lane Snapper, Cobia, Speckled Trout, Snook, Gag Grouper, Ladyfish, and more, depending on the season. You can expect to do some spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
You'll be casting lines from a 21' Sea Pro center console with space for 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Brett will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Don't leave home without bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Bay West Fishing.

Half Day Trip (AM) on August 21, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childmy nine year old son and myself had the best time. limited out on a type of fish in first hour and went to different spots to try for others. we caught so many different species of fish i dont even remember what they all were. brett knew the right spots and the good spots. was very knowledgeable. and very laid back. but will definitely work at finding fish and trying other spots. i would definitely recommend. great guy great service great fishing had awesome time. my son is still grinning from ear to ear cant wait to eat our catch. brett cleaned them so fast. will be back again on future trips.
Michael Mauldin5.0VerifiedGreat day inshore
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 27, 2026 • 2 adultsI told Capt Brett I wanted to catch some to cook up at a local restaurant. We had a limit in about 20 minutes! Spent the rest of the day looking for a big one. Caught several other species but nothing huge. Which was OK by me. Brett’s company and conversation on the boat made the trip. Just a super nice dude who also knows his stuff on the water. Can highly recommend.
Andrew Opitz5.0VerifiedGreat day on the water
Half Day Trip (PM) on May 19, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Brett kept us out of rain on a fairly stormy day and got us to some beautiful spots to fish. We got 4 keepers and caught much more than that! Gear and live bait were great, and captain made sure we had a great time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome inshore fishing trip!
Adam Mullaney5.0VerifiedAmazing weather and better fishing!
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 31, 2026 • 1 adultHad a great time on the water today with Captain Brett. Weather was great and captain got us on fish quick. Had a battle with a smaller Goliath Grouper and several more than got away. Looking forward to my next trip to southwest Florida so I can book this fishing trip again!

Half Day Trip (AM) on May 3, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had a fantastic day with Captain Brett despite the weather and wind working against us. Not only was Captain Brett accommodating of our schedule, but he got us on fish despite some rough conditions. Can’t wait to come back!

My husband, our 7-year-old son, and I spent a fantastic four hours fishing with Captain Brett. It was such a memorable experience that our son actually asked if we could "do that again tomorrow?" Needless to say, Junior ended up catching most of the fish—a great variety, too—and we even brought home fresh fish for dinner, cleaned by Brett right on the dock when we finished. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and highly recommend Bay West Fishing for your next fishing excursion. We will definitely be booking another experience!
Great fishing experience! The captain was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He made sure we had a fantastic time on the water. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely book again!
