    Great Half Day Fishing with Captain Scotty

    Half Day Fishing Trip (PM) • 4 adults

    My son and I recently completed a perfect half day fishing charter with Captain Scotty Darna of Saltyboy Charters. Captain Scotty met us at the Green Flash Restaurant dock on Captiva. He arrived early so we left early and in a few minutes we were in the Gulf headed to where he thought we’d find fish. Oh boy, did we ever! For the next three hours we caught dozens and dozens of snapper, grouper, porgies, Amberjack and others! At the end of the afternoon he flayed our catch which we took home and enjoyed for dinner. This was the best day of fishing I’ve ever experienced. Not only was catch great but so was the boat and the Captain. I would heartily recommend Saltyboy Charters for a totally great day!

    Half day Trip with CaptaIn Scotty

    Half Day Fishing Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    This was the best fishing action day of my life. I caught probably 30 fish including snook, redfish, jack, barracuda, and a saltwater catfish. And had another 6 break offs. Due to conservation restrictions none could be kept, but I didn't care. His boat was purpose-built and perfect for this type of trip. Capt. Scotty is a fine young pro who has a friendly easy going manner. I enjoyed my time talking with him. My charter started at 9 and my first snook was in the boat at 9:13. People it does not get any better!

    Lots of Action

    Half Day Fishing Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Scott got us out early and it was a good call. We almost immediately started pulling in big Redfish. Everyone in our group caught multiple fish. I can’t say enough about how well everything went. Scott was knowledgeable and quick to respond if we needed assistance. I would suggest be your first call for a charter.

    6 hour trip with Captain Scotty

    3/4 Day Fishing Trip • 2 adults

    We had the best time on this trip! Captain Scotty was wonderful. Every spot we went we were catching fish. We would drop the line and get a bite every time. Captain Scotty was very nice and knew right where to go. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a charter.

Feb 21, 2019 • Bokeelia
February fishing has been great with trips catching some of everything. This crew brought home lots of trout and snapper, as well as fun catches of redfish, big snook, and grouper. Crew kept me busy with double hookups and rods bent all day.
