Background: I've been a resident of the Fort Myers Beach area since 2012 and have fished the surrounding waters nearly every day since. Although Hurricane Ian swept away my house, I'm still nearby and get out on the water every chance I get. Whether you're a seasoned angler, simply looking for a new adventure or just want to get the family out on the water for a day during your vacation - give me a call. We'll have a great time.

Tarpon, snook, redfish. It was a great day on Bowditch Point Charters!!!

Catching his biggest snook ever!!

Jun 28, 2023 Fort Myers Beach

Another history-making day at BPC…my good friend Melon caught his biggest snook ever at 30.5”!!! Sarah’s 22” snook, my crevalle jack and a limit of keeper snapper rounded out an epic day! Never a bad day on the water.

Making Memories!!

Jun 24, 2023 Fort Myers Beach

It was tough out there for most of the day today. But my good friend Pauly still found a way to make it AMAZING with a 16” mangrove snapper and his first ever red fish!! The kid is a natural. A nice snook and several keeper snapper provided for a strong finish! Never a bad day on the water!!

Captain Pauls enthusiasm and excitement almost matched ours. What a good guy. He put up with our “squirrel fishing” casts and encouraged us to not be afraid to get closer to the trees. He is knowledgeable about the fish, the environment and was a great tour guide as well as fishing guide. I believe he said 1 more cast 4 or 5 times but he kept us going longer than the charter. Highly recommend this trip.

Jim, Thanks so much for the nice review. I do still get pretty enthusiastic and excited when my clients are having fun catching fish. You all were a great crew to have aboard. I hope we can do it again sometime. 👍🎣

Paul was an awesome guide for my wife and I. He’s a great guy and worked hard to put us on the fish and made sure that we were having a great time. We caught snook, snapper, redfish, and a gag grouper. He’s very knowledgeable and was great at teaching us when we needed help. On top of that Paul made sure to point out dolphins, manatees, sharks, tarpon, rays, and sea turtles when they were around us. We couldn’t have imagined a better experience for our first salt water fishing trip.

E. J. , Wow. Thanks for those kind words. Yeah, I wish every day could be like that. It took a while for them to start chewing, but once they did… So happy you two enjoyed the day. Thank you so much for the opportunity. 👍🎣

Paul was great, spent lots of time showing my son the ropes. Caught a wide variety of fish and took a few home for dinner. Highly recommended.

Todd, Yeah, the father/son charters are my favorite, and you and Elliot were a real pleasure to have aboard. I’m so glad we found some fish and that you enjoyed the day. Thanks for the opportunity.

James, Thanks for taking the time to write a review. It was a great day of fishing in some really rough conditions. The wind was howlin’ and the tide was rippin’. But, you guys hung in there, and we managed to hook into some fun fish and even put a couple on the ice for you. Thanks again 👍🎣
