Captain Alan knows the area well. We had a mixed group of various experience levels and ages and all had a good time and caught fish. He was even able to arrange pick up on North Captiva. He tailors the experience to your wants and knows how to put you on fish even when the bite is slow. We all managed to catch nice keeper trout and several snook despite windy conditions and a slow bite. Highly recommend Captain Alan Spangler if you are fishing around Sanibel/ North Captiva

Alan was absolutely amazing taking us from spot to spot to giving us the greatest opportunity to catch fish and have a great time. Every time we stopped, he would literally run to get our poles in the water as quick as he could. He is incredibly professional, fun and knowledgeable, and anybody who does not book a tour with him is definitely making a big mistake. Thank you Allen my three sons and I had an incredible time.

Captain Alan was great, we caught so many sea trout at the first stop and 7 keepers immediately. It was a very memorable experience and awesome first time fishing in Florida. He did all the work and I would recommend this for anyone.

We intended to fish inshore, but with Captain Alan’s recommendation, we decided to go further out and take our chances. He was right! After two hours of catching enough mackerel for multiple meals for our group of 9, we moved further out and caught sharks for two hours - hammerhead, silkies, and black tips. We took six tourists ranging in age from 8 to 85 and everyone caught plenty of fish and had a fantastic trip. Our grill was overflowing with fresh, blackened fish that evening. Highly... Mehr

Our family of 4 had an amazing time fishing with Captain Alan! He is a very knowledgeable guide and his boat and fishing gear were top notch. We caught fish and enjoyed our time on the water.
