Looking 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.

Half Day Trip (AM) on November 21, 2025 • 3 adultsWe had a fantastic time with Captain Mike! He did his best finding the best spots to keep a variety of fish on our lines. He was super attentive with keeping our bait fresh too. His boat was comfortable and spacious. Very professional and kind Captain to us all. Mike cleaned our catches and enjoyed feeding the tarpon after we docked. Was a successful day on the water fishing! Thanks again Mike!
Bonnie BrownRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHighly Recommend Captain Mike
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 5, 2024 • 2 adultsYou can’t go wrong!! Captain Mike is the ultimate professional. He’s well prepared, boat is stocked with bait and plenty of hydration, attends to each of his passengers, making sure their fishing experience is enjoyable. He baits your hook, casts your line if you need him to, and removes the fish. Highly recommend fishing with Captain Mike.
