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, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself. 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.
