If you plan on fishing in Fort Myers Beach, look no further than Shallow Action Fishing Charters.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Bull Shark, Goliath Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Tripletail, Cobia, Peacock Bass, Sheepshead, Tarpon, Lemon Shark, and anything else that bites.

On these trips, you can expect to drift and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. For the more adventurous among you, there's bowfishing.

Trips with Shallow Action Fishing Charters are fun for all ages, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

Your trip begins aboard a 22' Bay boat that holds up to 4 passengers. It has and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.

The charter boat covers your fishing license (up to 4 people), so all you have to do is look forward to your trip!
It's recommended to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray).

I like to discuss the game a day or so in advance to plan activities for the day, go over expectations and what we will be fishing for, and any of your needs I should be aware of before the trip.

If there is anything I can do to make your trip extra special, please feel free to ask. I'm a very easygoing guy who loves his job and all those who help make it a reality. I'm nothing but a guy with a boat and a fishing pole without you great clients. I try hard to make great fishing memories and amazing friends along the way.
Here at Shallow Action Fishing Charters, fishing is family. Can't wait to catch some memories with you and yours. See ya soon, Captain Brent.

In my youth I fished saltwater tournaments exclusively. I was fortunate enough to win or place well in enough events to warrant a title sponsor in Bagley Bait company. As a result was talked into starting a Bass career. I have fished at the highest levels of competition calm or rough weather, seas to inland lakes and rivers across the country prior to settling right back here were it all started for me so many years ago. I have several sponsors in the family today and treasure every one as well as the clients that help make it all reality. At Shallow Action Fishing Charters, fishing is family. I try to provide a memorable learning experience you can look back on for years to come while making new friends and relationships along the way. I will do all I can to make sure you can't wait to come back!
