Background
Luck o’ The Irish Fishing Charters was named after Capt. Rich's origins. Born in Tullamore, Ireland in 1979, he decided to come to the US in 2001. He found his new home in Southwest Florida, where he could pursue his deepest passion –fishing. The only thing Capt. Rich enjoys more than pulling in a big Red is helping his guests experience the same excitement! He has made quite the life for himself over the last 19 years, with a beautiful home and family to show for it. He takes great pride in how far he has come and loves to pass that same Irish luck on to his passengers.
Techniques
Capt Rich enjoys casting and spinning using light tackle. His favorite thing to fish for is grouper!

Shark Fishing Season is Upon Us!
Shark Fishing Season is Upon Us!
May 7, 2025 Fort Myers
Itโ€™s that time of year again; time to hunt for sharks on our shark fishing trips! Many people donโ€™t know this, but shark can be tasty eating. Here, in the Gulf of Mexico, sharks such as Great Whites are rare. However, you can easily find a Hammerhead, Bull, Tiger, Lemon, Atlantic Sharp Nose, Black Tip, or Bonnet shark swimming the warm waters of Fort Myers Beach, especially during the summer season. Donโ€™t worry, you normally wonโ€™t find them unless youโ€™re chumming the waters with bait, which is exactly what Luck oโ€™ The Irish Fishing Charters is great at doing! We love this time of year because shark fishing is a great sport. Hooking into one is such a fun feeling, and reeling it in is twice the satisfaction. We offer morning, day and nighttime shark trips at Luck oโ€™ The Irish Fishing Charters. We offer these trips at $650 for 4 hours, and $100 per extra hour with a maximum of four anglers per boat. Youโ€™ll get a chance to see the different species of shark that Southwest Florida has to offer in the back bay and near the shoreline of Fort Myers Beach. Shark fishing is the only style of fishing we use chum for. Some of the bait that we use is Bonita and Pin fish. Youโ€™ll have the opportunity to keep your shark for dinner (within legal perimeters) or choose catch-and-release. Shark fishing is a growing sport, which means slots fill up pretty quickly for us this time of year. To book your trip in a timely manner, donโ€™t delay! Schedule your fishing charter with Capt. Rich today!

Lately, we've been pulling in some beauties, inshore and on the back bay of Fort Myers Beach. These redfish were biting and we knew just where to find them!
