If you plan on fishing from marco to sanibel island, look no further than Flatfin Fishing.
All trip times can be discussed with captain Robert
These waters are known for Snook, Redfish, trout, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before "Fish on!" On these trips, you can expect to use light tackle. Capt. Robert also offers fly fishing.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
Capt. Robert will bring you aboard a Tarpon bay 19 flats boat with space for 3 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

This was a blast. It was my second charter in SWFL ,and my first with captain Robert. He had us jumping all over trying to put us on the fish that I requested to catch, and he did . The boat was perfect for my son and I. It was by far the best charter He makes you feel like you're fishing with your buddies. I highly recommend flatfin fishing. We had a day on the water that we will never forget. Thanks captain.

Capt Rob really knows these waters. If the fish weren’t biting in one location, moved us to another area and got us on the fish. He was patient with us but really made it an enjoyable trip. Probably the best guide I’ve had the pleasure of fishing with so far, and learned a few new things. Highly recommend doing a trip with him, you won’t regret it.

We had a blast out on the water fishing! We caught quite a few fish and saw some dolphins. Rob was a great Captain, we will definitely be booking with him again when we come back. He is super flexible, professional and helpful. We sometimes forgot we had paid him to take us out, it felt like we were fishing with a friend! Highly recommend!!!

Robert was very communicative in terms of pre charter (location, what to wear, bring, last minute questions)..he had lots of water on board for us. The boys caught fish (snook/snapper/red fish), Robert knows his spots. I would definitely recommend him for a small group (2-3). Boat was clean and perfect for what we needed.
