Luck O’ The Irish Fishing Charters will guide you to some of the most exciting back-bay fishing spots on Fort Myers Beach. This fishing charter is well-known for being family-friendly and strives to accommodate guests of all ages. Captain Rich believes that everyone should have a chance to experience fishing. Each guest on the fishing charter receives nothing short of top notch services from the best captains on Fort Myers Beach.

These affordable trips will take you to explore the spots in the back bay of Fort Myers Beach. The crew specializes in fishing the mangroves and targeting Redfish, Snapper, Trout, Sheepshead, Snook, Shark, and more. Along the way, you may spot native water birds, turtles, manta rays, and other beautiful wildlife.

Capt Rich welcomes you aboard his 27’ Carolina Skiff. This center console accommodates up to 6 guests on their fishing charters, and there’s enough room for everybody to fish at the same time. The boat doesn’t have a toilet but you’ll always be 5 minutes or less away from a restroom.

The captain will cover your fishing equipment and prepare enough live bait in advance. All you need to bring is your snacks and drinks for the day. Gratuity is always appreciated!

Luck o’ The Irish Fishing Charters will help you have a perfect day in the back bay of Fort Myers Beach. You won’t just hook the fish, you’ll hook yourself onto fishing!

Half day trip

VERIFIED

Great family outing on a sunny, beautiful (though windy) day during spring break. Caught & kept enough for a delicious “hook and cook” meal at Pinchers next door! FYI: $9.99/lb. prepared & served a la carte. Communication was great, Captain was ready and waiting at meeting time and took care of baiting, if needed, and cleaning. Side note: parking is a $10 at the slip (not bad considering all the repair/construction in progress since Ian).
