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.

    what a great fishjng adventure!

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    Captain Paul did such a great job getting us to the fish! We caught lots of snapper, a couple of lady fish, a few snook, husband got his in but mine saw the net coming and did a shook lose but it looked pretty big! I caught a big sting ray that was a fun fight. We caught a few trout (no keeper sizes) until mother nature decided to send a storm our way. Cpt. Paul let us stay out on the water longer then the 4 hours not counting the drive time which was a nice bonus :) He was also very patient getting us untangled from trees, docks, and each other! LOL! Good day on the water!

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Mangrove Snapper
    Speckled Trout

    Awesome day on the water with Captain Paul

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults

    Booked a morning charter with Captain Paul and he was great. He runs a 21-foot Skeeter bay boat that gets right into the shallow mangrove pockets. We timed the outgoing tide perfectly and caught a handful of snook, including a good size snook to round off the day, and a solid redfish. We also kept plenty of quality mangrove snapper for tacos tonight. Paul knows his stuff and put us right on the fish. Great guy to fish with and a wonderful guide. Highly recommend booking with him.

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Mangrove Snapper
    Redfish
    Response from Captain

    Brandon, Thanks for choosing me as your captain. That was a great day. When you find those holes where the snapper are biting…so much fun. Hope we can do it again sometime. 👍🎣 And thanks for the review.

    Outstanding Captain!

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults

    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.

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Mangrove Snapper

    Response from Captain

    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. 👍🎣

    Great Trip

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    We had a blast, plenty of action amongst several spots. Paul is a great captain and even better dude. He is very patient and encouraging, he illuminates postive energy the whole day. He photographs the whole trip which is a nice touch, now we have a very well documented trip. Paul is very knowledgable with all the wildlife in the bay, we learned alot. Overall very satisfied with the fishing trip.

    Response from Captain

    Wow, Kyle. Thanks for the kind words. That was a great outing, and I’m so glad you boys enjoyed the day. If you get back this way, let me know and we’ll do it again.

What's biting with Bowditch Point Charters in Fort Myers Beach

The weather gradually starts to cool in Fort Myers Beach in September, and although the rains ease, there is still the chance of the odd afternoon storm. The beaches are less crowded and the waterways are active and full of life.

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!!

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!!
