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.

The Snook and Sea Trout bite is on fire! After the hurricane, we all had some concerns about our local snook and Sea Trout population, well we can throw all those fears out the window! The bite this summer has been phenomenal! Come out and experience it for yourself whether itโ€™s by yourself, Frinds or the family. See you soon!

We did a full day trip the bite was weak in the morning but as soon as the tide started to flow the bite picked up almost instantly! We hooked into several snooks, redfish and tarpon. To top it all off my client was able to land a beautiful Nurse Shark going home with a smile. Overall I would say the bite has been consistent if your willing to wait out the tide.
