Make an adventure out of your next trip in Bonita Springs and go fishing with Tide Teaser Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Brad can tell you all about the local fishery.

These waters are home to Snook, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Pompano, Tarpon, Hammerhead Shark, and more with any luck. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites!

Your boat for the day is a 25' Parker center console with room for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

You can't go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Tide Teaser Charters and get hooked!

    A birthday treat for my son

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on September 27, 2026 • 4 adults

    My son turned 17 this week and wanted a fishing trip with some of his friends. Captain Brad was very reasonably priced, was available in a Sunday morning, close to my home. Instructions to meet were clear and straightforward. He is very experienced and provided help throughout the trip when lines got crossed and we cast into the mangrove trees. We caught a lot of fish and kept the ones we legally could for lunch at the Fish House restaurant in the afternoon. Dolphins frolicked in our wake on the way back to the dock. A wonderful memory with my son.

    Awesome time!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 4, 2026 • 4 adults

    me and my family had a great time, fishing was a tad slow at the start but captain Brad got us onto some fish pretty quick. he was able to coach my girlfriend and her mother into it pretty quick as well as they dont fish as much as i do. I ended up landed 2 really nice snook, loads of grouper and mangrove snapper, her mother hooked a monster snook but ended up losing it after the hook broke. They also had no shortage of snapper and grouper, even when weather conditions made fishing tough, Capt Brad kept the fish and jokes rolling in. Overall a great time and can’t wait to book another trip! Hit me up when you want to fish TN Captain Brad!

    Fantastic & Fun Fishing Trip

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 17, 2026 • 4 adults

    Our fishing trip was absolutely perfect. 5+ Stars! Fishing is a sport and sometimes you don’t catch as many fish as you’d like…But thanks to Captain Brad we caught plenty of nice Mangrove Snapper that he also cleaned for a delicious fish dinner. Although our goal was to catch plenty of fish, which we did…I also really enjoyed talking with Captain Brad. He has a great cheerful personality and did a great job (plenty busy) baiting all 4 of us for fantastic fun fishing. My 2 grandson also caught a couple of nice groupers on the trip. I will definitely use Tide Teasers and Brad the next time we come to Bonita Springs and highly recommend to anyone for some Fun Fishing…100% satisfied!

    Captain Hurd is Awesome

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 30, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children

    Captain Brad Hurd gave our family an absolutely outstanding fishing experience! He took our group of six, ranging in age from 10 to 76, and made sure every single person had an incredible time. His patience, professionalism, and knowledge of the local waters were evident from the moment we left the dock. Captain Brad worked hard to keep us on the fish, and thanks to his expertise, we caught a ton of fish throughout the trip. He was especially great with the younger members of our group, taking the time to teach, encourage, and make sure everyone was involved and having fun. At the same time, he made the experience enjoyable and comfortable for the adults as well. If you're looking for a captain who is friendly, experienced, hardworking, and genuinely wants his guests to have a memorable day on the water, Captain Brad is the one to book. Our entire family had an amazing time, and we'll definitely be fishing with him again the next time we're in the area. Highly recommend—five stars!

    Plenty of fish at every stop!

    6 Hour Trip on July 27, 2026 • 6 adults

    We caught Reds! More than we could keep. We caught Snapper, Jacks, Several Snook, and a few catfish even though we has a sign on our lines that said no catfish! The bite was on! Captain Brad Hurd put us on fish in every spot in the back bay. He had plenty of fresh live bait. We fished until time was up, he didnt include the time it took to get back to the dock either. He had the best price, I truly didnt expect such a successful trip in this price range. We had 6 fishing and everyone caught good fish. Me and my crew had the best day! HIGHLY Recommend Tide Teaser and Brad.

    Hammer head

    4 Hour Trip – Night Shark Fishing on April 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    captain Brad was awesome and very knowlegable. We did the night shark fishing charter and it did not disappoint. Hammer head was the first fish on which was a dream come true for me. Also caught black tips, then hooked into an absolute monster that i fought for over an hr and eventually had to let go bc the weather got bad and my gf's elderly mom got scared. It was heartbreaking to let it go but Captain Brad was right there the whole time maneuvering the boat however necessary. We would have caught that sucker no doubt in my mind. Absolutely recommend 10/10

    Fun Birthday trip for my nephew

    4 Hour P.M. on July 23, 2026 • 5 adults

    Captain Brad was great. The conditions weren’t perfect considering it was an afternoon trip and the water heated up making the fish activity difficult, but Captain Brad made sure we caught some nice snook. He aslo took is to many different spots around Estero Bay attempting to get us on some Red Fish. Although we didnt have the best bite in our favor, Captain Brad made sure we had a great trip and I would recommend his charter to anyone.

    great time with captain brad!

    4 Hour P.M. on February 25, 2026 • 5 adults

    5 adults in our 40s-50s decided on captain brad the day before our trip and we were super happy with our decision! We met him and the boat ramp and after a quick introduction we started our short 10 minute trip to the first fishing spot. on our way there dolphins came to swim in our wake on our way out. Captain brad actually slowed down a bit as he could see we were enjoying them! it was awesome. we started fishing and after only having nibbles we moved after maybe 10 mins. Thats a good captain… not catching so he has us reel in and move to the next spot. We moved three times until we found his honey hole and we probably brought around 30 black drum, 3 mangrove snapper, a couple whiting and a couple of blowfish to the boat. we had an absolute blast! captain brad carries very high quality gear too and we we were very comfortable on the boat. he has two bench style seats in front of the helm so it was nice. he also had plenty of drinks ready for us. If our live shrimp bait got robbed, he was always engaged and right there ready to rebait for us. And hes super personable too. We all had a great time and had a great fish dinner that night! Well definitely be booking with him in the future! thanks cap!!!

    Evening shark fishing

    4 Hour Trip – Night Shark Fishing on July 14, 2026 • 4 adults

    My family and I had an enjoyable trip out with Captain Brad fishing for sharks. The fishing was tough but Captain Brad kept the positivity going and with a bit of perseverance and hard work from Brad we managed to catch one. We had a lovely evening on the water and would recommend Tide Teaser Charters for anyone looking for a shark fishing trip.
