Book your next trip with Reel Excitement Fishing Charters and find out what you're missing in Punta Gorda! With Captain justin at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, Spotted Seatrout, Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, Cobia, and plenty more. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Your fishing machine for the day is a 23' Shoalwater flats boat with room for 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures. Live bait is also included.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be water on ice, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own drinks.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with Reel Excitement Fishing Charters!

cash is the preferred payment method***

Fun without the sun!
3 hour night fishing trips on March 8, 20252 adults2 children
Our family did the 3-hr night tour, and it was perfect for our 13 & 9 year olds in tow. Dan was helpful and knowledgeable, and did a great job managing four reels, sometimes dealing with tangled lines and multiple catches happening all at once. He knew a lot about the area we fished in, was professional, and it was apparent he had immense knowledge and experience in fishing. He kept the fish biting, flawlessly casting reels for me and my daughter, who were somewhat (ok, majorly) lacking in fishing experience. If you want to get a taste of Florida fishing, avoid the sun, and have an amazing family experience, without all the legwork, this is the fishing experience for you! The added dolphin bopping around while we fished for the last hour was an added bonus!

Punta Gorda Fishing Trip – Unforgettable Experience!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on May 17, 20254 adults
Had an absolutely incredible time fishing in Punta Gorda! Our guide was outstanding – knowledgeable, patient, and put us right on the fish. We caught an amazing variety, including snook, mangrove snapper, cobia, tarpon, jack, and trout. The action was non-stop, and the scenery made it even better. Couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a top-tier fishing experience!

We came from Minnesota with no salt water experience. He put us on fish right away and we were catching them all day. It was a lot of fun for all of us.
