Good Time Charters
+11Looking to catch some fish in Fort Myers Beach? That’s what Good Time Charters is here for! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Mike knows them forwards and back.
Species like Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Snook, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Flounder, Spanish Mackerel, Black Drum, Pompano, Lane Snapper, Mutton Snapper, and more could be biting.
On the day of your trip, you’re likely to use spinning reels and fish mangrove shorelines, oyster beds, grass flats, and/or a nearshore reef depending on conditions.
Good Time Charters is a child-friendly charter service, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, they have that covered. Don’t forget to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
Capt. Mike operates a 31’ Catamaran with room for 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. There’s ample shade and a toilet on board for your convenience. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Rods, reels, bait, and tackle are included.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Don’t leave home without sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and your favorite drinks. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
And that’s it! Your fishing trip with Good Time Charters is just a click away.

Captain .Ike was very nice and worked very hard to find several spots to catch fish. In just 4 hours we caught over 40 fish.

Went fishing with Captain Mike today. Took 4 kids between 5 and 9 years old and 2 adults. We did a half day charter and he put us on fish in each spot we stopped at. Captain Mike handled the young boys with ease. Was a great time and we will be book with him again in the future.

Captain Mike was great! Our family of five had a blast! We caught Sea Trout, Ladyfish, Catfish, Red Snapper and a few other kinds. He kept us baited. He taught us very useful techniques. He found the best fishing spots. He filleted our keepers. He even gave us info on a great restaurant to cook our catch. Thanks again!!
