    Great time!

    Half Day Trip - 8:00 AM5 adults

    We had a great half day trip with Captain Rob. Unfortunately due to the cold front and the water temp we didn’t bring in a whole lot, but we knew that going into it. It was gonna be a tough one out there for everyone. I know a handful of Guide’s got skunk to that day due to the conditions, but Captain Rob still got a fish or two for all of us. Boat was clean and rode great. Equipment was really solid as well. Would definitely book with him again when the water warms up a little bit but would recommend booking to anyone on the fence. He had a great attitude and kept us entertained the whole time. Very nice and likable. Thanks again captain!

    Rob was fantastic, very knowledgeable and found us some great fishing!! We caught several trout and baby sharks! It was so fun! We had several trout keepers that we took to The Lazy Flamingo, per Rob's recommendation, and it was delicious! I highly recommend this fishing experience.

    Great Father and son trip

    Half Day Trip - 8:00 AM2 adults1 child

    This was our first time fishing in the ocean and we had a great experience. My son caught 5 fish and a huge snook on his first cast. I caught 1, but was way more excited for my son. Great times, Captain Robert knew all the good spots and we even saw a manatee.

    Great experience. Captain Rob was wonderful. A great teacher for my boys 10 and 13 teas old. We caught Sea Trout, Snook and Mackeral. Captain Rob new right where to go and what technique to use. At one point we were catching fish each cast.

What's biting with Tarpon Magic Charters in Fort Myers

Fort Myers becomes less crowded in September as families take the kids back to school and hurricanes threaten. Water temperatures are still warm, so look for deep holes and shade, targeting Redfish, Snook, and Trout.
