Niki Mcpherson5.0VerifiedPhenomenal Day
Half Day Inshore Trip on July 28, 2026 • 2 adultsThis was above and beyond a wonderful fishing experience. We caught red, flounder, trout and a few other fish. Captain Robert took is to several amazing spots and was very patient, especially as I got used to casting. He had everything needed and all equipment at hand to make it a smooth trip. We will definitely return!
Jamie BennettRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBlown Away!!
Half Day Inshore Trip on March 29, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childWe had a great trip like we do every time with Spot On Charters and Cptn Robert. It was a very challenging day to see the least. Cooler temperatures rolled in with very windy conditions, but Robert was still able to put us on some nice Red fish with a couple keepers. My kids and I had a ball even with the weather. Robert is an outstanding guide with the determination and knowledge to put you on the fish. I highly recommend you check him out. thanks for an outstanding time Robert!

Half Day Inshore Trip on June 30, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 childrenFamily of 5 here. 3 children under 8. Robert was personable, patient and put us on fish. We left with dinner for days. He made our entire time worthy and we are so appreciative! Highly recommend!
Don Phillips5.0VerifiedAnd Dolphins, too!
Afternoon Inshore Sunset Fishing on March 31, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had a fantastic trip on the River with Captain Robert. This was my spouse’s first saltwater fishing trip and he immediately put us on fish - we limited on Red Drum! His boat and equipment are first class and he took time to teach us fishing techniques. On the way back, Captain Robert took us to see a bottlenose dolphin pod in the area. What a great time!
Kevin Quarles5.0VerifiedCAPT Rob and Spot On was AWESOME!

great father son fishing trip
3/4 Day Inshore Trip on May 28, 2026 • 2 adultsCapt Robert worked hard to find spots for us to catch fish…he even weathered a storm for us to fish a bit longer. He knew what to do and where to go.
Thomas Perry5.0VerifiedA really great afternoon
Afternoon Inshore Sunset Fishing on March 22, 2026 • 2 adultsI would recommend the sunset trip to anyone wanting to spend some quality time with someone that knows where the fish are, knows and shares the history and status of the area, puts you in an area to see dolphins, and shares fantastic sunsets with you. If this is for you, Captain Robert Zell is the Man!
