In my early childhood, my father brought me fishing as a small child. Ever since I can remember I enjoyed the fishing experience that my father gave to me. I had my first boat when I was 16 years old. Since then I have had boats as big as 32'. I began this family business as a tribute to my dad who passed away a few months before I was able to do so. I have named the business after him as he was known as Papa Bear to all his children and grandchildren, thus Papa Bear's Fishing Charters. I have my son Michael as my first mate and fishing companion. I have always loved being out on the water fishing with my family that is why I became a charter captain so I can pass this on to other people to enjoy. I fish out of lake worth inlet and target areas from the breakers hotel to Jupiter Inlet. We offer a variety of trips from 4 hours to 8 hours. The 6 hour and 8 hour trips include some trolling for mahi and tuna. The 4 hour trips are for bottom fishing the reefs and wrecks. I also give the option to troll on these trips for an extra 100 fuel allowance due to the increase in fuel costs. This will give an hour of trolling outside the reefs for game fish like mahi, tuna, sailfish, kingfish and wahoo. We also offer live bait fishing at an additional cost. This technique involves kite fishing, or slow trolling ,and or drifting baits at a variety of depths. We are trying to entice something big to come hit one of the baits that the fish are use to seeing out there. One thing we guarantee is that you will have a fun filled experience with us and we will do our best to put you on fish that you will reel in yourself. Book a trip with us and come have a great time. We offer free drinks and a free gift for each angler.

    PAPA BEAR FISHING TRIP ARE THE BEST ONES!!!

    4 Hour Trip – Morning • 3 adults

    We had such a great time on our fishing trip with Papa Bear Charters!!! Michael & Neil are so friendly and they helped my husband & I and our son with fishing! These guys are the best of any fishing charter in the area! It was like spending the day with family! Our son caught a 40” King Fish in the first few minutes and I caught a large Barracuda; we caught many other fish, including a grouper! Papa Bear Fishing are the best!!!

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda
    King Mackerel (Kingfish)
    Black Grouper

    Great day on the water

    6 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Mike was a great captain and guide. Took my son out, who had his mind set on Mahi. We caught some mid size tuna and amberjack and looked like we might run out of time to land a Mahi, but Mike took us to one more spot and my son hooked a 20 pounder. Mike talked him through the fight and now we’re having Mahi for dinner. Awesome trip!!

    Response from Captain

    Captain Mike was great to fish with. i felt like i was fishing with one of my fishing buddies I’ve known for ever. he is very knowledgeable and works his ass off to put you on fish. Me and my sons are avid fishermen and know the difference between an okay captain amd a good one, captian Mike is a good one so do not hesitate to give him a chance!!
