Reel Adventures SWFL
Spend the day with Reel Adventures and find out what the fishing in pine island sound is all about! Captain Dalton will be your guide, which means you'll tap into years of sportfishing experience.
Around here the fishing is popular for Redfish, Bull Shark, Tarpon, Sheepshead, Permit, Speckled Trout, Pompano, Spotted Seatrout, Snook, Tripletail, and more if conditions allow. You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Dalton is happy to have kids aboard, so get 'em offline and onto the water! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board.
You'll be casting lines from a 22' center console that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures. Live bait is included.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. It's always wise to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board.
Reel Adventures will make it easy for you to go fishing in pine island sound. So, how about booking that trip?

Wonderful and memorable fishing trip!
Captain Dalton was incredible in customer service; he was very experienced and customizable to our desires for this fishing trip! He was very friendly and very helpful on making sure we caught fish, especially kid friendly, helping her catch the most fish! He even made our trip even more cool and memorable by letting us see a bunch of dolphins and manatees and get incredible pictures.

Great day!
Captain Paul was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, friendly, took us to where the fish were. My wife and I and my son will definitely be back in the fall for another trip. Captain Paul also will custom design a trip for you to incorporate beaching and other things you might want to do like stopping at restaurants. we had signed up for a two hour fishing tour, and he took us out for two full hours of fishing, not including the travel, which was great. I would highly recommend using Captain Paul!

Amazing Family Fishing Experience!
We had an unforgettable family fishing trip with Captaine Dalton! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The captain was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He knew all the best spots, and we caught a variety of fish, both big and small, making the experience exciting for everyone. Our daughter especially had a wonderful time, and the captain made sure she was comfortable and engaged throughout the trip. His patience and enthusiasm really stood out. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and the whole atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. This was truly a memorable outing for our family, and we’re already looking forward to booking another trip! Highly recommend!!!

Review of our amazing family fishing trip
We recently took a fishing charter with our twin 9-year-olds, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The captain was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience unforgettable. We visited three fantastic locations, each offering something unique and exciting. The captain's patience with our kids was remarkable—he took the time to teach them and answered all their questions with kindness and enthusiasm. It was heartwarming to see how much they learned and how much fun they had. Not only was he attentive to the kids, but he also made sure we, as parents, felt taken care of throughout the trip. His professionalism and passion for fishing were evident in every aspect, from the way he handled the equipment to his expert guidance. I would wholeheartedly recommend this charter to anyone—whether you’re a first-timer, fishing with kids, or an experienced angler looking for a great day on the water. This was truly a family adventure we’ll cherish for a long time!

Terrific experience
Oh, gosh; where do I start? I booked the trip as a gift to my kids and grandson, who would be here visiting after Christmas. Captain Dalton was so patient and kind to this granny's questions ahead of the trip. THEN, he was patient, personable and attentive to my family on their four hour trip. All were excited as fish were caught, cleaned and subsequently prepared and eaten at a Sanibel Island resturant suggested by Dalton. The final stamp of approval came from the 10 year old grandson who told his dad that he wanted to come back and go fishing again with Captain Dalton. What more is there to add?
