Join Flagler Fishing Charters on one of their trips and experience the excitement of quietly creeping through skinny backcountry waters in search of some of the most prized fish out there! Your guide for the day is Rob Ottlein. He's experienced in various fishing techniques, and if you're looking to test out your fly fishing skills, this is the right charter for you.

His vessel is a 17' Action Craft skiff equipped with a 115 HP Yamaha outboard. Additionally, the boat has a Minn Kota trolling motor that will allow you to navigate to hard-to-reach spots. The boat can accommodate up to 3 anglers aboard. Children joining in on the trips need to be ages 5 and up.

There is a large variety of species you can choose to target on the trip you decide to book. Some of the most popular fish available to anglers are Snook, Trout, Redfish, Flounder, and even Tarpon. However, these are certainly not the only fish swimming around in these waters, so you may occasionally run across Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Mangrove Snapper and more! Depending on the season and trip, different species will be easier to find, but your guide will always make sure you bend some rods.

Flagler Fishing Charters will provide you with the necessary fishing licenses and equipment. This includes light tackle spinning gear, either with live or artificial bait. However, if you'd like to try your hand at baitcasting or fly fishing, top of the line equipment will be provided per your request. Your guide, Rob, will even provide you with his hand-tied flies to give you the best chance at a bite.

All you need to do is dress for the season and weather, and bring sunglasses (preferably polarized), sunscreen, and your choice of snacks and drinks. Then you'll be ready to go after the catch of a lifetime!

    Doubleheader

    3/4 Day Trip on July 1, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 children

    We had a blast fishing with Captain Rob. He was very knowledgeable. Put us on the Fish. We caught a lot of snook a lot of mangrove snapper and if we were skilled better, I’m sure we would’ve got a tarpon but all in all it was a great day with a great guide, Captain Rob

    Half day fishing charter with captain Rob

    3/4 Day Trip on August 21, 2023 • 2 adults • 1 child

    I took my grandson for a 6 hour fishing trip and all I can say is what a wonderful trip it was. To be honest I can’t think of a better way to spend my 65th birthday. Captain Robs understanding of the local waters must be second to none and the patience he had with my 9 year old grandson was above the level you would normally expect. We both caught a lot of fish ( and lost many more being too slow) we both a a great time. I can honestly say that if you are looking for a fishing charter around Flagler Beach look no further.

    The best fishing charter!!

    3/4 Day Trip on August 2, 2024 • 2 adults

    CPT Rob really impressed us! The fishing trip was far from dull. He had a wealth of knowledge about fishing and knew exactly where to go. We planned for an 8-hour trip, but he wisely suggested 6. I'm grateful he did, as we was exhausted after catching a few tarpon before the 4-hour mark.

    Great charter

    3/4 Day Trip on July 29, 2024 • 2 adults

    Me and my grandpa had a great time with capt Rob. He almost put me in my first tarpon but it sadly spit the hook. Caught like 25 small snook and a bunch of nice sized mangrove snappers. I definitely recommend this charter to anyone wanting to go out fishing with a small group that just want to catch fish.

    3/4 day with Capt Rob

    3/4 Day Trip on April 3, 2022 • 2 adults

    Fun day! Started by targeting Tarpon, but they weren't eating probably due to the rapid change in weather and barometric pressure. And my skills as a fly fisherman weren't too great. Next, I fished along docks and banks in the ICW. Some decent activity as the temps rose. Then we hit another stretch that turned out to be very productive! We caught a Jack and several keeper sized trout. I lost count how many since we released all fish back to the water. Capt Rob is very knowledgable, safe, skilled, and in high demand. I will be booking with him again.

    Half day with Captain Rob

    Half Day Trip on April 12, 2022 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Our family of 3 set out for half day without any expectations and came away with the best day on the water possible. We got seven jacks, three catfish (including one LARGE one caught by 11yo daughter as largest fish of the day), one sheepshead, one mangrove snapper, one bluefish, and one lady fish. AND saw two sea turtles and two manatees! Rob was patient teaching less experienced. Definitely recommended if you’re in Flagler Beach area.

    March fishing trip

    3/4 Day Trip on March 29, 2022 • 1 adult

    I’m an avid angler from Michigan and told Rob I wanted to catch as many fish and species as possible - and that’s what we did! We caught and released fish all day covering 6 different species. It was great to also enjoy the local wildlife including seeing dolphins, sea turtles, jellyfish and bald eagles - inter coastal fishing is a blast and Rob knows what he’s doing ! I’d highly recommend and plan to look him up again next time in area.

Rob started guiding thanks to his love of fishing, being in nature, feeling the tug on the line, and watching the expression on peoples' faces when they land a good size catch. His favorite species to target is Snook. Rob is also a member of the Florida Guides Association as well as the Coastal Conservation Association.
