    Great fishing trip for the family!!

    4 Hour Fishing Trip- Inshore on June 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had an amazing time with WeGoFish! We caught plenty of fish, and Captain Paul was outstanding throughout the entire trip. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and especially great with our little one, making sure everyone had a fun and memorable experience. The fishing was excellent, the boat was well-equipped, and Captain Paul worked hard to keep us on the fish all day. We caught a lot of fish and learned a few things along the way too. Overall, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. If you’re looking for a great day on the water, I highly recommend WeGoFish and Captain Paul

    Best Trip with Best Captain!

    Captain Paul was absolutely wonderful! There was 5 on our trip and he kept us baited, lines in the water, and on fish the whole trip! We caught a TON of fish from sheepshead, catfish, trout, mangroves, and was able to take home a beautiful slot Red and 2 great Pompano, he even gave us tips on how to cook the fish which turned out wonderful! Definitely recommend Capt Paul and WeGoFishCapeCoral! We will definitely book with him again!

    Great day on the water with Capt. Paul

    4 Hour Fishing Trip- Inshore on May 1, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a great weather day and hit up a bunch of spots in search of a redfish. Landed trout, jack creval, snapper, blowfish, sheepshead, and a few catfish. We kept two decent trout and stopped on the way home to have them cooked up for lunch. Paul was a great captain, talking about the local fishery and sights. He was great in helping with the fishing methods and baiting, and casting. Will definitely come back again. Thanks for a fun day on the water.
