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

Alan was absolutely amazing taking us from spot to spot to giving us the greatest opportunity to catch fish and have a great time. Every time we stopped, he would literally run to get our poles in the water as quick as he could. He is incredibly professional, fun and knowledgeable, and anybody who does not book a tour with him is definitely making a big mistake. Thank you Allen my three sons and I had an incredible time.

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

Captain Alan has a very nice boat that easily accommodated 2 adults and 4 kids. He got us on the fish quickly, and we had a productive trip. He gave us a lot of fishing options and was open to whatever we were interested in. Everyone caught fish, which was great for the kids. We walked away with enough filets to feed our family of 12 twice. A superb fishing platform, with high quality tackle, made for an excellent morning. I highly recommend Spangler Adventures if you’re in the Fort Myers/Sanibel/Captiva... More
