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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
