You think you’ve got what it takes to complete a “Backcountry Slam,” and land a Redfish, Snook, and Seatrout all in one day? Then join Fish On Adventure charters for an ultimate journey through the backcountry flats, inlets, and nearshore waters around Captiva Island.
Captain Michael Werner runs several different charters out of the Fort Myers area, and he knows these waters like the back of his hand. His Captiva Island charter will have you fishing Pine Island Sound, Tarpon Bay, and all the way down to San Carlos Bay.
You’ll be fishing from a 25’ Contender bay boat, great for cruising both inshore and nearshore waters. She provides both versatility and comfort, allowing up to 4 guests to relax, fish, and enjoy a smooth ride. She comes with GPS and fishfinder that’ll lead you to some of the most productive fishing grounds along the coast.
Back bay and inshore trips will see you targeting Snook, Redfish, Seatrout, Tarpon, and Jack Crevalle. On nearshore trips, you’ll be focused on catching Kingfish, Cobia, and other reef fish such as Mangrove and Lane Snapper, as well as Gag and Black Grouper.
Capt. Michael specializes in a number of techniques, including jigging, popping, spinning, bottom fishing, and trolling. If you need to switch up your style depending on the fish you’re targeting, you’ll have an expert to assist you along the way as much as you need.
All trips come with state-of-the-art equipment, and your fishing license is included as well. If you catch something delicious like Grouper, Capt. Michael will offer to clean and fillet it for you so you can take it home for dinner.
Fish On Adventure charters invites you to join them on Captiva Island for a fun day of fishing, sightseeing, and cruising along the beautiful bay. Capt. Michael is confident that the natural beauty and pristine waters around Captiva Island will captivate you and have you coming back each year for more fun in the sun!

Isaiah was amazing! We had 4 boys all 13 years old. He was so patient and sweet with them. When one of the boys had not caught anything and the others had caught multiple fish, he made it his mission to make sure this boy had the same experience and didn't give up until he finally caught a fish! Great day out all in all!

We were able to get out with Captain Mike on the very last day of our vacation. In four hours we caught trout, snook and a few big reds. INSHORE SLAM! At one point, my son and I were doubled up on two big reds at the same time. Highly recommend Captain Mike. He knew where the fish were and was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with. We’ll be going out with him again the next time we’re in the area.

Knowledgeable Captain and crew. Worked hard to keep us fishing. Took time to listen to our preferences of species and made it happen. Happy to share their experience with is to make us more successful after we are off the boat. No reservations about recommending them and we will chose them for our next trip as well.

For winter inshore fishing, this was live fast action. Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Sheep’s Head are varieties we caught. Each angler hooked and brought in more than 8 fish apiece. Many had to go back for size and regulations. Fish were constantly biting… Every fisherman’s wish. If the ‘Bite slowed down, then Captain Gregg, moved the boat. Captain knew where the fish were! Captain Gregg put us on fish!
