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!!

Half Day Trip

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 an amazing captain. He shared some information about the area with us as we made our way to the fishing spot. While fishing, he was attentive - helped with bait, casting, taking pics. He shared a lot of knowledge about fish and other species in the mangrove. He adjusted our location a few times to ensure we kept catching fish.

Capt.Paul was fantastic as our guide, he put us on fish rather quickly and we were able to come home with some tasty snapper fillets. I had my 82 year old father with us and Captain Paul was very patient and helpful helping him get fish into the boat. I highly recommend Bowditch charters and Capt.Paul.

This was a great experience start to finish. Communication from Captain Paul was great from the start. I had some questions and he was quick to reply. Come time for the trip he was also flexible and able to tailor our trip to meet the needs of our family. He was fantastic with our kids (9, 10 and 15). He worked his tail off and we caught a bunch of fish! Excellent boat / gear. I’d book again in a heartbeat!

Brian, Thanks so much for the review and the kind words. From my standpoint, a day on the water with wonderful people can’t be beat. I’m so glad we found some fish and that you all enjoyed the day - that’s the most important thing. I hope we do have the chance to try it again some day. No bad days on the water. 👍🎣
