    Half Day Trip with Captain Bob on Catch 22

    Half Day Trip. 6 person max on May 29, 2022 • 6 adults • 4 children

    Great family fishing charter with Captain Bob on Catch 22!! We have been coming to this area for many years. We have had very little luck fishing with our four young boys. Captain Bob openly shared his wealth of fishing knowledge and locations that would suit any inshore angler. The day started off with a nice upper slot snook measuring 31.75 inches. We switched to shrimp to keep the kids busy and they saw plenty of action. They easily caught a myriad of ten different species. Captain Bob kept the kids on the fish, entertianed, and wanting more. We had a great time today and will be going out again with Captain Bob on Catch 22 very soon.

    35 Fish Caught, 16 Species, 6 Keepers

    3/4 Trip 6 person max on February 23, 2022 • 6 adults • 3 children

    After reading all the positive reviews, I decided to book Catch 22 Fishing Charters, and Capt. Bob did not let us down. Between my sons and I, we were able to knock 7 fish off of our personal bucket lists. Capt. Bob has been doing this for decades and his knowledge of the tides, winds, techniques and locations were definitely on full display as we had a ton of success in a time of year where most other charters have not. Captain Bob navigated his 25 foot pontoon with ease through the rough chop caused by the outgoing tide. He also explained his tactics and techniques in a way that everyone on board was able to understand and implement which was excellent considering my two sons (11 & 8) and nephew (7) were able to execute the Captains orders which had great results. Due to his teaching style, I feel everyone on board became much more competent and better overall fishermen which is not always the case with other charters I have been on. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the fresh fish that we caught, which Capt. Bob fileted for us. We grilled it that night! Doesn't get much fresher then that! We will definitely be booking the "Catch 22" again when we make our yearly pilgrimage back to Stuart!

    Birthday Catch

    3/4 Trip 6 person max on May 21, 2021 • 6 adults

    We had a great time! Captain Bob was well experienced and explained how to bait the hook, how to cast and jig, and we managed to leave with 21 fish (mostly Croakers)! Even though the seas were rougher than usual, he made it easier on everyone and stayed near the bridge. It made the experience so much better! On the way out, he explained some local history and stopped at a few docks to try for Sheepsheads. We weren't so lucky to catch any but we still had a great time! I would recommend chartering the Catch 22. Captain Bob was friendly and patient even with our newbie mistakes. Thanks again for the trip! Hope to see you again!

    Fished the Dyment family visiting from Connecticut. Young Devin caught dinner for the family with 2 nice pompano. One fish was 13" to the fork but the large pompano was a whopping 21" and weighed 6.4 lbs which makes that fish the largest pompano ever caught on Catch 22 Fishing Charters in 33 years. Truly a fish of a lifetime.

    With calm seas we had the opportunity to target Spanish Mackerel along the beach. Normally these macs start showing up in the Stuart area in December but this year thses fish stayed just north of us in Fort Pierce and Vero Beach until mid February where a recent cold front did push them south. Mackerel were caught while casting glass minnow jigs. Someze nice sized sheepshead over 4lbs and a bonus flounder on the bottom.
