    Unforgettable trip – Captain Chris made my son’s dream come true!

    Shark Trip 3hr • 3 adults

    We booked a shark fishing charter with Captain Chris, and it was an absolute blast. My son, really wanted to catch his first shark, and Captain Chris made it happen – He landed a big blacktip that he’ll be talking about for years. The excitement on his face when that shark took off was worth the whole trip. We also had tarpon biting like crazy, though we couldn’t quite get one to the boat. Captain Chris worked hard to put us on them, and even without a landing, the strikes and jumps were a thrill. Captain Chris knew his stuff, kept everything safe and fun, and was great with my son. If you want a serious shot at sharks and non-stop action, book him. We’ll be back!

    Reported catch:

    Caught a STINGRAY!

    Shark Trip 3hr • 2 adults

    We took the 3 hour shark trip. Captain Chris picked us up by Bonita Springs. It was my 13 yr old son and I. Chris was extremely patient with showing us what the heck we were doing. He knew the area and was correct in calling the large catfish based on the bite as well as the stingray before we even got them to the boat. The stingray was too large to get up on the boat and its barb was swinging for all of us. We didnt catch a shark that day but thats up the fishing gods. Boat has room for 2 fishers and Chis. He had 4 great rods and real bait. My son and I would recommend him!

    Outstanding day!

    Shark Trip 3hr - 3:00 PM • 2 adults

    My son and I use charters on average twice a year and this is easily the best experience we have had. Great communication from the captain, very knowledgeable, and TONS of activity. We only had time for a 3-hour trip, but in that short span we hooked six large sharks, three tarpons (two of which were trophy-class), and stingray. We could not be more satisfied with this experience, am my son is still all smiles and talking nonstop about the day. Thank you!!

    great captain

    4 Hour – Artificial Lure • 2 adults

    I can’t recommend fishing with Christopher enough! From the start, it was clear that his main priority was ensuring we had a great time and caught fish. He is incredibly client-focused and knows the water like the back of his hand. The highlight of our trip was his dedication at the very end. As we were heading back to the dock, Christopher spotted some Black Drum. Instead of calling it a day, he actually gave us an extra hour of his time just to make sure we had a chance to hook one. If you're looking for a captain who goes above and beyond and doesn't just watch the clock, Christopher is your guy. We had an amazing day on the water thanks to his passion and professionalism.

    Beautiful Day for Fishing!

    3 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Captain was great with communication prior to the trip. He even housed our luggage in his truck while we were out on the water. Explored many different spots for fishing but it was a slow day. We managed to catch a few small ones in the mangrooves. Wished we would of caught more but overall was a great experience.

What's biting with No Negativity 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.
