  Small town vibe

  SUMMER SPECIAL 8 hour Trip on September 4, 2026 • 2 adults

  I keep falling in love with this place, one of the wildest ecosystems ever and it feels like stepping back in time.. This day we caught our limit of mangrove, a heavy hand-full of trout, snook, and a few sails. The mullet are showing up it can be seen with the dolphins playing in prop wash, and the turtles popping up to see who’s who. It’s a great place to visit, enjoy, and the local are happy to accept you. (It’s not Key West) Don’t miss out on checking out EGC the rod and gun club and or the Smallwood store Thank you, Capt. Bobby & fam again We will be back soon

  Great fishing trip!

  SUMMER SPECIAL 4 hour Trip on July 24, 2026 • 3 adults

  Booking the trip online was easy and quickly confirmed. The boat was nice. Everything we needed was provided as far as the fishing and tackle. Captain Slade was a great host. We fished really good spots and caught the keeper redfish we were hoping for along with other edible species! Had a fun time catching all kinds of fish and our captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and right on task helping us every step of the way! Highly recommend this charter and Captain Slade!

  Puttin’ on the Fish

  6 Hour Trip – Season on March 9, 2026 • 2 adults

  Growing up and living on the Gulf my entire life Ive fished from The Keys to Corpus. Today was one of the best! Capt Bobby (Waterboy Charters) out if Everglades City put us on fish immediately and kept us on them for hours! We caught many kinds of fish. But we chased and caught black drum until my teenage son finally called “uncle”. His left hand was tired from reeling, his right tired from gripping and both hips were sore from bracing the end of the pole to haul in the numerous huge black drum. We took a fishing break and played with the dolphins in the boat wake and then got back to it. We had a great time spotting the schools, following them and catching so many big fish. Everything about the trip was great! https://www.waterboycharters.com

  Super trip with Cap'n Bobby

  6 Hour Trip – Season on February 19, 2026 • 2 adults

  My husband Jim and I went out with Captain Bobby from Everglades City for a 6 hr trip. We caught quite a variety of fish - if a site wasn't productive in a short while - he moved to another spot to keep us catching fish. We hadn't fished in quite a while and he kept coaching and encouraging us with humor and banter and we really did well. He helped me, casting out and then handing the rod back to me to hook and reel in fish. I know I would have gotten really tired before our time was up but for his help. I know anybody would do well on a trip with him, but also he would be great for families, as he was so patient with us newbies. You would really enjoy fishing with him.

  fun morning fishing

  4 Hour Fishing Trip SEASON on August 24, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

  myself and my two younger boys had a great morning fishing. We all caught a variety of fish. Slade was knowledgeable of the area and helped with casting and handling the fish. At the end he cleaned and filleted our catch. We all thoroughly enjoyed our trip.
