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.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 12:00 PM on March 27, 20242 adults3 children

My wife and our 4 boys had a great time with Capt. Kyle. My kids were catching fish within the first half hour of the 4 hour trip. Kyle has a great personality and the kids had a blast with him. He was super helpful with the kiddos and made sure they had a great time as well. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thanks again Kyle. When we are back in town, we are coming back to fish with Captain Kyle again.

Reported catch:
Mangrove Snapper
Speckled Trout

Thanks again for the memories! Your kids are going to be great fishermen. You're crew can come down and fish with me any time. Can't wait to see them next year and glad we got the little one started early! Tight lines to you and the boys.

Captain Kyle is a great guy and a knowledgeable charter Captain. He was willing to take all 6 of us while on vacation from Pennsylvania. Got us on fish at several locations in Beautiful southwest Florida, making memories of a lifetime with family and friends. Can't thank him enough or recommend him more!

Our trip couldn’t have been any better. Captain Kyle was very knowledgeable and professional. We caught a lot of fish and got to see a lot of alligators up close. My daughter and I had an amazing time. We will definitely book with Captain Kyle the next time we are here.

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.
