 Black Marlin Lane 6179, Cape Coral, FL 33914, United States

Spangler Adventures operates around the Cape Coral area, combining local experience and strong customer focus to provide tailored fishing adventures for anything from families fun to hardcore sportfishing. The captain welcomes you aboard his modern, spacious boat for the ultimate Florida inshore experience.

You will be fishing aboard a 23’ Carolina Yachts center console, built in 2018 and powered up to a speedy 30 knots by her 200 HP Yamaha outboard. The vessel is perfect for family groups because of her high sides and spacious design and also makes for a solid fishing platform for even the most active of anglers.

The boat is equipped with the latest Garmin electronics, which combine with her brand new Minn Kota trolling motor to let you dominate these shallow waters. She has a huge livewell full of fresh live bait to tempt the fish in, and quality tackle for when they bite.

The captain invests in high-end, locally-made rods and reels from Eupro and Florida Fishing Products to give you the highest success rate possible. You will normally be live baiting, but if you prefer to throw lures just let the captain know and he will bring a range of quality products to get even the fussiest fish interested.

All trips come with water, ice, and a cleaning and filleting service for all your catch. Just bring along any food and drinks you want for your trip, and don’t forget your camera, because this is a day you will want to look back on for many years to come.

4 Hour Trip - Inshore/Flats (PM) on April 11, 2025

Captain Spangler was great, he took myself and three teenage boys out to Pine Island Sound to catch fish. His boat was a 26ft Carolina skiff with plenty of room. We fished from about 12:30 pm to 4:30 pm, it was a sunny day with low breeze, Captain Spangler helped the boys cast to where the fish were located. All the boys were successful and landed fish! A great time was had by all!

Very friendly, Captain Alan took us around the lower part of the river out to the sanibel bridge area also. He's a local guy who knows where to find fish. This is our 2nd trip and we had a cooler of fish to take home for the 2nd time. Just an all around good time with a good guy. Give him a try on your next trip.

Captain Alan was fun to fish with. He helped our group to be successful. The weather was a bit windy but not bad overall. The trout we caught were delicious.

angler's choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

My passion for fishing began when I was a child. I played baseball throughout the week and always looked forward to fishing on the weekends with my dad. As I got older my love for fishing grew. My first job was working at a local bait and tackle shop. I then saved up enough money for my first boat in high school. I started guiding family and friends to catch fish and I knew from that point I wanted to pursue my own business as a charter captain. I took classes to earn my master captain's license. Since then I have been very fortunate with my business. Every day I look forward to sharing my passion with my customers and in the process we create memories that last a lifetime.
