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.
