Captain Charlie Hookem
Spend the day with Charlie Hookem and get hooked on fishing in Cape Coral!
You're likely to go after Snook, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Jack Crevalle, Goliath Grouper, Gag Grouper, Cobia, Tarpon, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Peacock Bass, Largemouth Bass, and more with any luck. On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
You'll be casting lines from a 23' Sea Born center console with space for 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Charlie will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's recommended to bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Charlie Hookem.

8 hour trip with Charlie hookem
8-Hour Fishing Charter with Captain Charlie Hookem Our day on the water with Captain Charlie Hookem was nothing short of incredible. We arrived around 7:00 AM and were greeted with everything ready to go—Captain Charlie had the bait prepped and lines rigged before we even stepped aboard. Within minutes of reaching our first spot, the action started. We caught a variety of species throughout the day, including hard-fighting snook, tasty mangrove snapper, and even went toe-to-toe with a massive Goliath grouper. The experience was well-organized, action-packed, and a true testament to Captain Charlie’s knowledge and preparation. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or new to fishing, a trip with Captain Hookem is an unforgettable way to spend a day on the water.
