Captain Alan knows the area well. We had a mixed group of various experience levels and ages and all had a good time and caught fish. He was even able to arrange pick up on North Captiva. He tailors the experience to your wants and knows how to put you on fish even when the bite is slow. We all managed to catch nice keeper trout and several snook despite windy conditions and a slow bite. Highly recommend Captain Alan Spangler if you are fishing around Sanibel/ North Captiva

My husband and I had a chance to do a charter with Captain Spangler this past weekend. He was super knowledgeable and very helpful. I was able to catch a 90 pound tarpon and after an hour of fighting it and his guidance I was able to get it to the boat. It was a great experience. I would highly recommend his charters for anyone looking to do a tarpon trip in the Bokeelia FL area.

Captain Alan had us on the fish quick and did a great job helping out a family of novice fishermen (and girls). He was extremely laid back and made sure we had a good time. in B We caught a variety species and even had time to fish for some shark! On our way back to dock, Captain Alan was able to find us a group of dolphins that played in our wake. All around great day w a supurb captain.

We intended to fish inshore, but with Captain Alan’s recommendation, we decided to go further out and take our chances. He was right! After two hours of catching enough mackerel for multiple meals for our group of 9, we moved further out and caught sharks for two hours - hammerhead, silkies, and black tips. We took six tourists ranging in age from 8 to 85 and everyone caught plenty of fish and had a fantastic trip. Our grill was overflowing with fresh, blackened fish that evening. Highly... More

Our fishing trip today with Captain Alan was nothing short of amazing.  We caught so mamy fish.  Captain Alan was amazing and patient with our kids.  It made for an incredible experience!
