Capt Charlies Fishing Charters
Capt Charlies Fishing Charters
Capt. Charlies Fishing Charters offers a great range of trips, targeting hard-fighting fish in any depth of water. Fish the backcountry for Trout, Redfish, Snook, Tarpon and other inshore legends. Otherwise, head up to nine miles out in search of Grouper, Cobia, Kingfish, and more.
Capt. Charlie Cooper has spent his life honing his skills, and knows all the best places to hit in the Fort Myers area. And with mile after mile of perfect flats, hidden bayous, and open sounds, there is a lot to choose from.
In order to get the most out of the area, you will be fishing aboard a 23 ft privateer center console. This sturdy boat is as at home on the flats as she is on the reefs, and her clean-burning 2021 Suzuki outboard means you can travel at speed without choking on smelly diesel fumes.
The vessel has a trolling motor for combing the backcountry and a range of marine electronics for sounding out deeper water. Wherever you fish, nothing brings big hits faster than a livewell full of fresh bait. Combine it with quality tackle in a variety of weight ranges, and you're ready to take on anything the ocean throws at you.
Of course, Capt. Charlie knows that every angler fishes differently. During your trip, you can troll, jig, spin, pop, and drift your way to great catches. You can even bring your fly fishing gear along if you want.
All bait, licenses, and local knowledge come as standard, so all you have to do is show up! Bring your food and drinks and plenty of sunscreen, and get ready for a great day on the water.

I highly recommend Captain Charlie. The Communication was great for coordinating the trip. We got into a school of jacks, we got some trout, some spanish mackerel, a gag grouper, and a shark. That was a ton of fun and so cool to see the school and all the different fish we caught. I was happy to pull off 3 keeper fish 2 trout and a spanish mackerel. He cleaned those fish for me and did a great job with that as well. He did a great job getting me into some good fish today for my first time ever fishing in the gulf on a boat! I also really appreciated him showing me a ton of basics regarding how to fish in the gulf. His setups for fishing were awesome to fight the jacks on and the other fish. Will be coming back again for sure!
thank you very much!!
Our family had an incredible day on the water with Captain Charlie! From the moment we left the dock, it was obvious he knew exactly what he was doing. He caught fresh bait in less than five minutes, and we were catching snapper almost immediately after. Throughout the trip, we caught a ton of fish, including lots of snapper, a blacktip shark, jack, and even a snook! Captain Charlie was friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable, making the trip enjoyable for everyone in our family, regardless of experience. If you’re looking for a captain who works hard to put you on fish and makes sure you have a great time, Captain Charlie is the one to book. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be back!
thank you very much !
Captain Charlie gave my nephews an experience of a lifetime. They have not stopped talking about it. His communication, patience, and determination to make sure we were catching fish made every single minute on the water worth it. What truly sets him apart is that he is just as excited about every catch as the people on the boat. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that energy makes the whole experience even better. 10 out of 10 experience. We will absolutely be booking again.
thank hou very much!!
Captain Charlie was amazing! It was our first time fishing in Florida and he made it such an amazing experience for us. We caught so many fish and then he prepared them for us to bring to dinner. We brought them to Bimini Bait and Tackle for a delicious dinner. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and new where to find the fish! We highly recommend Captain Charlie! I dont know who was more excited about fishing, Captain Charlie or my kids. It was so great to see his passion for fishing!!
thank you very much!!
Charlie was absolutely fantastic. We wanted a trip with some flexibility for 5 and 7 year old boys, and this was just that. We caught fish, saw the area by boat, had a dolphin show right beside the boat (right place at the right time) and enjoyed Charlie's presence. He was the perfect combination of firm so we could catch fish, yet flexible with young kids. We all agree that this was the highlight of our time in Florida. Thanks, Charlie!
thank you very much!!

Becoming a guide was an easy decision for Captain Charlie Cooper. He has spent his whole life fishing, and has caught too many fish not to guide. Captain Charlie loves being out in the nature of Southwest Florida. Nothing gives him greater pleasure than sharing his native waters with guests, and his love and respect for the area is clear to anyone who steps aboard his boat.
