Bucket Mouth Fishing Charters

Make an adventure out of your next trip to Fort Myers and go fishing with Bucket Mouth Fishing Charters.

Fishing around here will often see you targeting Amberjack, Black Drum, Great Barracuda, Cobia, Peacock Bass, Mahi Mahi, Jack Crevalle, Goliath Grouper, Permit, Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, and more if conditions allow. During the trip, you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Kyle 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. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Your adventure begins aboard an 18ft boat with space for 3 passengers. It has all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect. It’s recommended to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

The click of a button is the only thing keeping you from a great day on the water with Bucket Mouth Fishing Charters!

I grew up chasing Salmon and Steelhead up in Michigan. That obsession never left me. When I decided to move to FL in 2012 my passion for chasing fish exploded. Which is what got me here today.
