Boy did Captain Miguel find snook haven for us today off of Matlacha. Too bad they are out of season but we had more fun and were very successful landing large keeper snook. They were all returned safely to Charlotte Harbor and now they are waiting for the next charter with Captain Miguel. This gentleman and his first mate were very kind, professional and focused on our success. We are local and have fished these waters for years. We highly recommend Reel Fishing SWFL Charters!

Great experience and would recommend this trip to everyone especially if you want... More

Book with Captain Miguel!! We had such an amazing experience—this trip was the highlight of our time in Florida! He was incredibly patient, great with kids, and very knowledgeable about the area. He took the time to make sure everyone enjoyed the trip. We had 2 adults and 3 teenagers, and there was plenty of space on his boat. The boat was comfortable and very clean. What really stood out was how successful our trip was—at one point there were several other boats around us... More

I have been fishing with a number of charters over the years, however Captain Miguel was one of a kind. Incredibly personable, knowledgable and patient, he made the entire day one to remember. He was amazing with my 2 daughters, teaching and helping them every step of the way. His passion and love for fishing was genuine and he was as excited as we were, when we were catching fish. Speaking of, we caught a ton of quality fish that topped any trip i have been on. Throw in the manatee and dolphin... More
