Captain Tom has been fishing the Gulf waters of Florida his whole life. His dream came true when he became a charter captain and started showing others the beauty that Southwest Florida offers. For him, watching people reel in fish, relaxing on the boat, and creating memories that will last a lifetime is the best part of his job!

    FANTASTIC experience!!

    6 hour offshore • 1 adult

    The booking, communication and fishing experience with Captain Tom was first rate. We were on the fish right away and hauled in a limit of Snapper and quite a few Jacks. The boat is large and comfortable with plenty of room to move around. This was my first deep sea fishing and I know I will book again because of this experience.

    Reported catch:
    Mangrove Snapper

    Great afternoon fishing

    4 Hour Trip (PM) • 3 adults

    Captain Tom made it an awesome trip. My teenage son and I were focused on catching fish and learning some new tips. We did both, and had a blast with Tom. Looking forward to getting out on the water with him again.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Jeff!

What's biting with Blind Date Charters in Fort Myers

The main focus for Fort Myers fishing in October is Redfish. Big ones. They start to spawn in inlets and river mouths at this time of year. Sight fishing on the flats is exceptional, thanks to very low tides. Cobia starts coming south again.
