Southern Charter Co – Cape Coral
Southern Charter Co is here to help you experience the stunning waters of Cape Coral!
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Tarpon, Goliath Grouper, Kingfish, Cobia, Jack Crevalle, Mangrove Snapper, and who knows what else! During the trip, you might be light tackle fishing, bottom fishing, or something more specialized in this area. Remember that some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them.
Feel free to keep any fish you catch, assuming they're legal to harvest. Plus, Capt. Chris can even clean your catch for you to enjoy later! Kids are welcome aboard, so you can make it a family trip.
Your boat for the day is a 23' Center console with space for 6 passengers. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle, along with lures, waiting for you. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this, so you know if you'll be catching it yourself. Bringing sunblock (non-spray), a hat, drinks, snacks, and sunglasses is never a bad idea. There will be bottled water available on board.
And that's it! Your fishing trip with Southern Charter Co is just a click away.

As we pull away on the boat, I tell Chris that catching a Goliath is on my bucket list. He responds, "We're going to check it off your list today!" Suddenly, the rod bends, and verbal cues fly: "Pull up... Lower... Reel! Reel! Reel!" I reply, "I can't reel; it's impossible," with laughter in the background. Without Chris and Toby's help, I wouldn't have landed a monster Goliath. After catching the second one, I admit my body was completely exhausted. Of course, Chris insists we take her to the beach for a picture, and let me know that I'm going to get wet. Chris and Toby are the perfect team, and they'll get you on fish. Thanks for the memory, bruised arm, and sore back!
Got started and the rain came, Captain Chris ran us back in to cover. Waited about an hour and took us right back out. Caught our limit of Speckled Trout ! Deck Hand Austin was outstanding as well.
Captain Chris did a great job listening to what we were interest in catching. He showed us different techniques and put us on fish. We caught 6 different species of fish on our 2 trips booked with captain Chris. Our family of 6 had plenty of room to fish on his boat. We will definitely use captain Chris if we vacation back to this area again in the future.
Despite off season and high winds, captain Chris found some secluded spots and put us on fish. We all had a good time catching fish and enjoying Florida weather. Hand feeding tarpon with some of our catch was a bonus

Captain Chris, Thank you for taking family fishing! The bite was on and we caught all different types of fish this morning.
It was a very good day with Chris. Thank you.
👍👍
First the captain called me and said another day would be better for our trip if we could move it so we did. Our boat was cleaned and well organized with the captain being polite and responsive. Day started off on time and we caught bait. While catching bait we caught our target bait and some sea trout. Catching bait was fun and quick and the sea trout were a nice bonus catch. We then targeted the Goliath grouper and we were on the fish almost immediately. My son hooked up and lost one but then landed it. We moved for some bigger fish and I caught one then my son caught another one. We had three Goliath groupers in about a hour and a half. All grouper were in the50 lbs range and fought hard. They were fun to catch. He said let’s go find some bigger ones but there were a lot of tarpon around and our first choice was a tarpon charter so we pivoted. There were lots of tarpon around and my son really wanted to try to catch a tarpon so the captain pivoted to tarpon fishing for us. He was upfront and honest telling us tarpon are hit or miss especially this time of year and we didn’t have the right bait for them. We didn’t catch any tarpon but the captain tried a few spots and a few different techniques. All in all a great day and I would definitely book another charter with him.
Look no further then this man right here to lock in your next fishing trip. Reliable, on time, and honest. Capt. Chris took us out to get on some tarpon and that's exactly what he did. Bite on the first cast. Landed fish of a lifetime. Incredible experience. His equipment was top notch as well as his boat. He was entertaining and got the job done. Book with him and you won't regret it.
Capt Chris was a great guide. He took us out for the morning to snook fish and every spot he took us too had action. Over the 4 hour trip he made sure each person was catching fish and enjoying the trip. Very knowledgeable about the area and was able to adjust when needed to keep us catching fish all morning. Definitely recommend to book him if you’re looking for the opportunity to catch some awesome fish.

Chris Anderson provided a wonderful fishing day in the Cape Coral Mangroves. The boat was fitted out with every device that you could imagine in the interest of pursuing snook in the many inshore mangrove nooks and cranies. Chris constantly shared his extensive knowledge of seeking out fish and was a pleasant companion. He was easy to talk with and was interested in your background and freely shared his. I succesfully filled in the missing species on my bucket list and landed my first snook. I would highly recomend Southern Charter for anyone looking for a relaxing and exciting day on the water.

We had a great afternoon out on the water with Southern Charters Fishing Co. Our Captain Chris was exceptional listening to our wants and needs then guiding us to where the fish were biting. Two (2) out of the 4 of us had never caught a fish in their lives ( one was 76 years old ). Chris was so great explaining how to use the rods and reals as well as keeping up with everyone’s needs from baiting our hooks to bringing the fish we caught onto the boat. All 4 of us caught many fish and we kept the 4 that where legal in size. Chris cleaned and bagged the fish we took home for dinner that night. He gave us tips on how to prepare the fish that was right on the nose, taste was wonderful and talk about Fresh. All 4 of us will go out with Chris & Southern Charters next time we are in Cape Coral FL. I hank you Chris for a great afternoon on the water and for being so in tune with our group of 4. Sincerely Ed Giel.
