Make some memories in Fort Myers Beach and Pine Island Sound and go fishing with Reel Florida Fishing. Captain Ethan or Captain Brian will be your guide, so you'll benefit from years of local experience.

Black Drum, Snook, Redfish, Goliath Grouper, Sheepshead, Amberjack, Mangrove Snapper, Spotted Seatrout, Tripletail, Tarpon, Cero Mackerel, Sharks, and more could be biting if conditions are right. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Your fishing machine for the day is a 23' Sabalo center console that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There is a cooler with ice and water onboard.

Now, time to hit the water with Reel Florida Fishing!
