Capt. Miguel

Member since December 2021 Cape Coral, United States

Background: Meet Capt. Miguel—the award-winning heart of Reel Fishing SWFL Charters with over 20 years of local water knowledge and a passion for putting guests on fish. Known for his friendly vibe, precision, and unmatched experience, he customizes every trip to fit your goals, skill level, and style. From back bays to Gulf waters, Capt. Miguel delivers unforgettable fishing adventures led by a captain who truly lives for the thrill of the catch.
Techniques: My go-to fishing approach blends free-lining, bottom fishing, and popping corks, allowing me to adapt to different conditions and maximize every trip’s success. Free-lining keeps the bait moving naturally, enticing aggressive predators. Bottom fishing targets deep-dwelling species, ensuring a steady bite. Popping corks create irresistible surface action, drawing in fish from a distance. This versatile combination gives me the flexibility to target a wide range of prized species, making every cast count.

Caught several Red fish in a 6hr trip!

Sep 29, 2023 Cape Coral

The Red Fish have arrived! Due to a significant drop in water temperature from 97 degrees to 82 degrees, the Red Fish and other local fish have become more active. This is an opportune time to be out on the water pursuing that once-in-a-lifetime catch. I have found success in catching them primarily using live bait and chunks of cut-bait fish.

4-Hour Fishing Late Afternoon Bite

We recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing tour with Captain Miguel, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we stepped on the boat, it was clear he puts a lot of thought and care into every detail. The equipment was clean and well-maintained, the boat was spotless, and he had everything ready to ensure a smooth day on the water. What really stood out was his patience and attentiveness—especially with the kids. He made sure everyone, no matter... More

Just save yourselves the headache of sifting through hundreds of fishing charters & use Miguel. I looked through sooo many charters & chose Miguel based on experience and responsiveness. This translated incredibly to his ability to entertain and host my mom & I for several hours. Couldn’t even count how many fish we caught and he was so patient and willing to teach us the tricks of the trade. Would recommend him to everyone, both inexperienced and seasoned anglers. Can’t...

Captain Miguel made our fishing experience one for the books!!! Unlike any other trip we have been on. Not only does he know great fishing spots, but he is well prepared for anything and everything and has such a genuine personality. Truly an authentic guy looking to create a great experience for anyone who steps on board. We caught some huge fish, he was well prepared with all the goods - from bait to snacks, and had nothing but smiles on the whole ride. Thank you Miguel!

A group of 5 of us decided to do this charter. It was such a fun experience, Miguel was an amazing captain. He was attentive and helped to cast and bait our lines, we got to fish multiple spots and we landed some fish. Miguel was knowledgeable of the fish, area and friendly. I highly recommend you book with him. Even if we hadn’t of caught any fish we still would rate this trip 5 stars based on the experience and Miguel’s hospitality.
