Ready to cast a line in Captiva? Reel Drag Fishing Charters is here to make it happen! Your guide for the day is Captain Gregory, bringing aboard years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Black Drum, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Ray, Redfish, Blacktip Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Snook, and whatever else is biting. On the day of your trip you’re likely to drift and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Families making of a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

You’ll find yourself aboard a 18’ Beavertail Skiff with room for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don’t leave home without sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Reel Drag Fishing Charters and get hooked!

Best fishing ever!
4 hr inshore - 12:00 PM on October 10, 20255 adults
This was a truly amazing experience for our three boys age 7, 9 and 15 and for us parents as well. Greg was the pefect captain. Very polite, great with the kids, helpful and very very knowledgeable. the boat was clean and comfortable. We caught about 20 fish including trout, catfish, mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, snook, ladyfish, stingray, redfish, jack crevalle and a couple of other fish we can’t remember what were called. The boat 20 metres away caught nothing, while we reeled in fish after fish!!! I highly recommend Captain Greg for anyone that wants to catch fish and have a great and memorable time.

Captain Greg turned a rather slow fishing day into a great day on the water!
4 hr inshore - 12:00 PM on April 16, 20255 adults
The fishing wasn’t great, but Capt. Greg was excellent! He tried everything to put us on fish, but the weather and tides didn’t cooperate. We did catch a few small fish each, but the trip will be remembered for the effort and personality of the captain. Will definitely be booking with Capt Greg next time in the Ft. Myers and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a hard working captain.

We had a great time with Greg on the north end of Captiva. He was really fun , super laid back and great with the kids and adults. He helped my son catch a very impressive red fish that will be talked about for years to come!
