We had a great time, would highly recommend Captain Cody and Make a Wake!!! We left out of Punta Rassa boat ramp and we where catching snook within the hour. We finished the day catching 5 different species from Snook, Sea trout, Jack Crevalle, goliath gropher and some catfish.  We had a blast and Cody was great with us and it was a pleasure on how he took the time to help explain things and our girls really appreciated that!!! Great conversation as well. Will absolutely be back and recommend to friends!!!

We set out to specifically target tarpon. Although we did not catch any, Captain Cody worked hard at trying to find them. Water temps were unusually high for the week we were there at 92 to 93 degrees,  well above the peak temps.  However, we still had a geat time, my son described the day as amazing and we did still catch a shark and a couple fish. We will reach out to Cody for our next trip and finally hook some tarpon. I highly recomend him as your guide.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Day on the Water with Captain Cody!
If you are looking for a top-tier fishing charter in Captiva, look no further than Captain Cody. Our family of five (my wife, our three daughters, and myself) had an absolutely incredible day out on the water with him.
Right from the start, we were impressed by his setup. Cody runs a beautiful, well-maintained 25’ Pathfinder bay boat equipped with a tower for spotting fish. It was incredibly spacious, and our entire family felt completely safe and comfortable the entire day. On top of that, all of his rods, reels, and gear are absolute top-of-the-line, which made the fishing experience even better.
Cody’s energy is fantastic—he is super fun, enthusiastic, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the local waters. He knew exactly where to go and kept us on a massive variety of fish all day long. We were constantly reeling them in, landing everything from Sea Trout and Snook to even a Grouper!

What makes booking with Cody even better is knowing you are supporting a true local professional. This is Cody’s full-time job, and his charter business helps support his young family. His passion for his livelihood shows in every single detail of the trip.

He was amazing with the kids, keeping everyone engaged, excited, and catching fish. It was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you, Cody, for an unforgettable family day—we will absolutely be booking again next time we are in Captiva!
Pros: Perfect family boat, high-end gear, highly knowledgeable, supports a great local family man. 10/10 highly recommend!

We had an excellent fishing trip with Captain Cody. He put us on fish all day with his strong knowledge of the area and great guiding.

We landed trout, snook, snapper, and redfish, with the snook bite being the highlight of the trip.

The boat handled perfectly, the equipment was excellent, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. Captain Cody’s expertise made the difference and turned it into a truly memorable trip.

We’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future. Highly recommended.

My wife and I have been on other fishing charters and Captain Cody showed the most passion of any Captain we have had.  He made it his goal for everyone catch fish.  He loves fishing and sharing his knowledge about fishing.  He was very hands on and supportive and made the charter a great time.  We caught many different varieties of fish including my son catching a 3 foot Bull Shark that was a memory we will have forever.  It was not an ideal day for fishing, full moon and windy, the fish were not biting frequently but he taught us all strategies to get action throughout the day.  I will use Captain Cody again as he is a great guy, very personable and passionate about fishing and fish conservation.  He helped everyone make a catch they will remember forever.  Happy Fishing Everyone!
