Captain Roland has been fishing for 18 years and has been a captain for 4. He's a local angler and has a big family coming from a long fishing line. He loves spending time on the water and fishing with new people. The captain feels the best part of his job is making people happy and seeing them smiling after catching the fish they wanted.

    Best part of our vacation!

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    Captain Roland is definitely an expert of the area. He knew all the best spots to take us so that we’d catch fish. The time of the year we were here, we caught snook, snapper, & Jack Crevalle. He gave the boys tips as we went so they’d catch more or just get better at fishing. Captain Roland is personable & helpful. Our half day went so fast! You won’t be sorry if you book a trip with Captain Roland

    Great Trip!

    Half Day Trip - 12:15 PM • 2 adults

    My boyfriend and I booked this charter and honestly didn’t know what to expect since neither of us had done it before and it was absolutely amazing! It was a slower day according to captain Roland but we were still catching way more fish than we ever expected! Captain Roland was great, he was super knowledgeable and patient with both of us and had a great attitude. We will definitely be back!!

    Capt. Roland is the best!

    Half Day Trip - 12:15 PM • 1 adult

    Everything about this trip was great. Capt. Roland is a ton of fun. He put us on the fish. I wanted Spanish Mackerel for dinner and he delivered! He had a ton of interesting stuff to teach us about the local area and local water while we were fishing. Very professional. Very prompt to communicate. Highly recommend!

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout
    Spanish Mackerel
    Ladyfish

    i was worried about 4 hours being enough but we were quick to get on fish and when the bites slowed we moved on to other sites fast. Great experience for the family, will definitely return to book again with Day Shape Charters!

What's biting with Day Shape Fishing Charters in Cape Coral

The weather settles into its fall patterns. Cobia are migrating southwards back down the coastline, and Tarpon fishing comes to a close with the cold fronts. The Redfish bite is extremely good in the backcountry and flats.
