Whipp It Reel Good Charters welcomes you to Florida! Join Captain Nick Whipp and let him take you fishing in his home waters of Lemon Bay and Boca Grande. Though he primarily specializes in inshore fishing, you may also enjoy bottom fishing and nearshore trips if the weather conditions are favorable. Depending on how and where you fish will dictate how many people can come aboard, but Capt. Nick assures you that he’ll do whatever he can to make your trip a wonderful one. Let’s get hooked on fishing!
You’ll be fishing out of a 22’ Skeeter SX210 bay boat that can accommodate up to 4 anglers, with licenses included for all on board. It runs on a 150 HP Yamaha engine and uses all the best electronics needed for safe and quick navigation. The boat features a wireless trolling motor and an ice-box, and comes equipped with a livewell.
You and the captain will be chasing trophy Snook, Redfish, Snapper, Grouper, Sheepshead, and Tripletail. You’ll attract them by spinning and bottom fishing on light tackle. Feel free to keep your catch at the end of your trip, and bring the kids aboard to learn all about fishing. Just remember that smoking is forbidden during the trip.
All the fishing rods, reels, tackle, live bait, as well as a catch cleaning service are included in the trip price. Bring nothing but your favorite food and drinks before you go and you’ll be set for all the fun.
Whipp It Reel Good Charters is waiting for you, come aboard and have a lovely time fishing in Florida!

Great Experience!
Half Day Trip AM - Inshore (MAX 3) on October 31, 2025 • 2 adults
Great boat, great gear, great captain. Captain Nick is awesome. Very personable and welcoming. We had a cold front move in, and Captain Nick called me the day before to warn us and let us know he’d get creative. He turned a day that would normally be a slow bite into an epic day. Caught multiple species (snook, snapper, Jack, catfish). Nick is a wealth of knowledge with a wide range of expertise in targeting just about all species. Which was extremely helpful to a fishing novice with us. As someone who’s been on dozens of fishing charters, Captain Nick is one of the best.

Fantastic Fishing Experience with a Great Guide!
Half Day Nearshore/ Gulf of Mexico on October 28, 2025 • 1 adult • 2 children
If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing experience in Englewood, Florida, I can't recommend Captain Nick enough! We had an amazing time fishing both in the Gulf of Mexico and the inland waters, and Captain Nick made the whole trip special.
From the moment we met, it was clear that Captain Nick was not only an expert fisherman but also fantastic with kids. My young ones were totally engaged throughout the day. He was patient, teaching them the basics while making sure they had a blast reeling in their catches. The way he kept things fun yet educational was awesome. And from my 11 year old he said "I feel like he's my best fishing friend now."
Whether we were out on the Gulf, jigging for some larger catches, or on the calmer inland waters, he knew exactly where to go for the best action. His local knowledge was spot on, and he made sure we were comfortable with the gear. The equipment was top-notch.
Overall, the experience was fantastic. We walked away with plenty of fish, 9 species total, great memories, and a new appreciation for the sport. If you’re in the Englewood area and looking for a fishing trip that’s both relaxing and thrilling, definitely give Captain Nick a call. Highly recommend!

Great fishing morning
Half Day Trip AM - Inshore (MAX 3) on July 31, 2025 • 3 adults
This is our third year of taking a fishing guide. Each year with a different guide and I go with my son and son-in-law and we all agree that Nick has done the best job out of all the guides we took. He explained things well and was very patient with us. We caught dinner for tonight. We caught a 35-in schnook and about a 25-in schnook and had a great time. We liked Nick because he was very attentive to what we needed and was always there to bait us up and get us going. He was very conscious of being organized about our time and fishing different spots for the fish we wanted to catch. It was a great day and we'll be back again next year. Thanks, Nick. You deserved more than a 5 star rating.

Half Day Trip AM - Inshore (MAX 3) on May 2, 2025 • 2 adults
If you want an amazing experience on the water, book Captain Nick Whipp. You will not regret it. Our trip was fantastic. My brother in-law has never fished in Florida and I’m a novice fisher. Captain Nick gave fantastic instructions and had us on fish before he could even finish giving us a briefing of what to expect. Both of us caught our first cobia and it’s an experience we’ll never forget. I had one of the best days I’ve ever had on the water. Even if the fish weren’t biting, captain Nick provides an all around excellent experience full of boating, fishing, and local knowledge. However, the fish were biting and Captain Nick kept us on them all day!! I will exclusively ride with Captain Nick for all future trips. Thanks again Captain!

3/4 Day Trip – Inshore (MAX 3) on April 18, 2025 • 2 adults
I’ve had a lot of trips with guides in Florida. We didn’t knock it out of the park with numbers of fish but it was just one of those days. Bright sunshine and windy. We did catch some really nice fish. Nick was unbelievably knowledgeable about the area, fishing techniques for various fish and how rig up. In all honesty, if we had not caught a single fish, the amount of knowledge about the fish and how to fish for them would have been worth the cost. Boat and equipment was top notch and immaculate. We moved constantly all day to different areas looking for fish. He really really goes all out to get you on fish. If he’s got an open spot on the day you want to fish then you should consider yoursel really lucky.

Can't thank you enough Ken. Trout bite was solid to start and then we had to work for them. Glad we were able to get a few redfish and that one little snook to finish the inshore slam. You guys we welcome back any time!
