Passionate local captain operating a 21' Cobia Bay Center console with plenty of room Capt. Gage ensures a comfortable fishing experience in the waters of Charlotte Harbor in Punta Gorda, Florida where he was born. I always try my best to make sure you are catching nice fish but also relaxed and stress free. I always make sure to get nice photos of your fish after you catch them as long as you'd like because that gives you something to take with you. Fish will be caught using live bait on the top of the water, and other techniques, you'll have a chance to catch Big Snook, Redfish, Snapper, Trout, Jack Crevalle and sometimes Tarpon. Id love the chance to show you the beautiful fishery we have!

    Genuinely great person & CAPTAIN

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    There needs to be more young men like this one, Handles himself very professionally, reminds us of our late step-son. Works very hard to ensure catching of all types of fish. We will be talking about this experience in the days to come. Very impresessed , although young in age he has an old soul. extremely knowledable. We can't say enough about Gage, he gets just as excited when we catch fish as I'm sure when he does. Punta Gorda area is lucky to have him. If we ever come back we will seek for him to take us again. thanks captain Gage!

    6 hour charter

    6 Hour Trip (AM)

    I had an awesome experience fishing with Captain Gage Towles. You can tell right away he grew up on these waters—his knowledge of inshore Florida fishing is on another level. I’ve been fishing my whole life, but Gage still taught me a ton. He knew exactly where to go to get the bite going and kept us on fish the entire trip. What really stood out was how he tailored the trip to what I wanted—after we landed a bunch of snook, he made sure to get me hooked up on my first jack, which was a blast. I did a lot of research before booking, and I can confidently say I made the right choice. If you’re thinking about booking a charter, I highly recommend Gage. You won’t be disappointed.

    Great fishing trip!!

    We had a wonderful time from beginning to end! Gage was very knowledgeable and personable and made us feel welcome on his boat. He might be young but he is definitely a professional . We caught snook and mangrove snapper. We can't wait to go out with him again and would highly recommend him to anyone interested in doing a charter.

    he was a wonderful captain and a superb individual. He took us to good spots and helped wonderfully. Would recommend him to everyone. He was spot on with anything that we needed. He was kind, courteous and very respectful. Made sure we had anything that we needed, water snacks.

    Gage was an Amazing Captian, guide, and young man! My son and I had an amazing time! We caught a ton of fish and had a blast with him. Highly recommend Captian Gage.

    Was my stepson and my first time doing this type of fishing. The captain went over everything put us on fish, and we had a great time.

What's biting with SixFourFishing Charters in Punta Gorda

Bottom fishing gets better as winter approaches. You can take advantage of Mackerel's fall run on the reefs or stay inshore to target Redfish, Snook, and Speckled Trout.
