If you're ready to experience fishing in Fort Myers, look no further than Drewitup Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Ethan knows them forwards and back.
Fishing around here will often see you targeting Redfish, Snook, Spotted Seatrout, Tarpon, and more, depending on the time of year. During the trip, you might be light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Ethan will bring you aboard a 24' Bay boat that can carry up to 3 passengers. Your captain will provide rods and reels, live bait or artificial.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time!
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
It's recommended to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
You could keep reading this, but wouldn't you rather be fishing with Drewitup Charters?

3/4 Day Trip
Ethan did not disappoint! My friend and I booked a last minute trip the day before and I'm glad we did. Fishing started slow in the morning before the tide came in and the pressure was also a little high, but Ethan did a great job of keeping us moving if we didn't catch anything within 5 minutes. Once more clouds and the tide came in it was game on everywhere he put us! Multiple decent size snooks and huge trout! Had some massive snook on 2x but they snapped the line with gill plates. Some ladyfish and jacks as well. Definitely will book with Ethan again when we come down this way!

Special 8 hour trip for Mary Singh
My 14yr old son and I went fishing for the day with Ethan and his crew. Had the best day. Caught so many fish and learned about the area. Ethan’s experience was obvious…he knew what to catch, where and when! His crew mate Mason was on top of everything, he and Ethan worked so well together. It was insane that a pole was always ready!! They gave great tips and suggestions how to get the fish in, and took care to release them as we didn’t want to keep any. We were blessed with perfect weather, saw manatee and dolphins as we headed out. Literally couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thanks guys!! My son already wants to fish with y’all again!

Ethan was prompt in preparing for the trip and showed up early for our departure. He was very knowledgeable. We caught several types of fish; Ladyfish, Jack, Speckled Trout, Red Fish, and a huge shark! Highly recommend.
