I've been a permanent resident of Fort Myers Beach since 2012 and have fished the surrounding waters nearly every day since. Although Hurricane Ian swept away my house, I'm still in the area and get out on the water every chance I get. Whether you're a seasoned angler, simply looking for a new adventure or just want to get the family out on the water for a day during your vacation - give me a call. We'll have a great time.

My son and I had an AWESOME time fishing with Captain Paul. He had us on the fish early! Communicates great from when you book to when you get on the boat. Clearly evident he’s passionate about what he does! Highly highly recommend if you’re looking in the Fort Myers Beach area. You won’t be disappointed!

Half day trip with Captain Paul

Great day on the water. Caught many snapper, snook and grouper. Boat was beautiful and comfortable. Captain Paul was a pleasure to be with. He knows the waters and the beach community well. He shared valuable fishing knowledge and interesting info about the history of Fort Myers Beach. I highly recommend him and will definitely be repeat customers. He’s great with kids too. My daughter can’t wait to go again.

We had a great time fishing with Paul. He will put you on the fish for sure. He is enthusiastic and clearly loves what he does. We caught plenty the first hour and released after that.

Nick, Thanks for the wonderful review. The fish made us work for it today, but you guys hung in there and put some nice ones in the boat. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to show around the back waters. No bad days on the water.
