Background: I've been a permanent resident of Fort Myers Beach since 2012 and have fished the surrounding waters nearly every day since. Although Hurricane Ian swept away my house, I'm still in the area 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!!

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.

Christie, Thanks so much for those kind words. I’m so glad you enjoyed the outing. You two really put a hurtin’ on the fish today - I just wish we could have found a BIG one for you. Thanks so much. Hope we get to 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. 👍🎣

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.

Paul was great! From the very start of the day we knew it was going to be awesome. We have a 9 year old daughter and he was very patient with her and answered all of her questions. We went a few different places and we caught a lot of fish and saw some unforgettable sights!

Rachel, Thank you so much for the review. I really appreciate that. And thank you also for a wonderful day on the water. You all were a real pleasure to have aboard. The fact that the fish were biting was just icing on the cake, as far as I’m concerned. Spending a day on the water with good people is what it’s really all about.
