Rely on a fishing charter for your first time out. Definitely worth going with Reel Fishing SWFL. And it's a MUST to hire Miguel from Reel Fishing SWFL Charters. Fee is very reasonable compared to other Charters in the area. It was perfect for my husband and I. We received Miguel's full attention. We learned many things about saltwater fishing. The wildlife was beautiful. I can't say enough good things about this charter. We'd DEFINITELY charter again. Thanks Miguel for a wonderful time.

It’s a little different than fishing up north. I am used to fishing with J hooks and setting the hook. We used circle hooks and we had to learn to reel only and not set the hook. Captain Joseph did a great job teaching us.

When booking your trip, make sure you confirm the booking with the captain directly. Captain Scott Williams (from "Thrill of it All" charter company) confirmed the booking then canceled at the last minute leaving us to scramble to find a replacement charter. I'm grateful to Captain Roland Wilock of "Day Shape Fishing Charters" for taking us on such short notice and giving us a memorable experience. HIGHLY recommend Day Shape Fishing Charters.

Fishing Booker is a great place to start. Read the reviews...make sure they are recent. Do some research of what's in season (if you want dinner!) And pick one and go with it...! You will most likely get a knowledgeable Capt. with great fishing experience. Cheers!

Captain knows the spots and taught my kids how to up their game when fishing. I was a true please. We fished on Jun 22. Morning fishing trip. It was getting hot. Captain offered to stay out and fish longer than we chartered. But the kids had caught so many fish they were ready to go back in. Great memories made!

Winter time can be a little slow with wind and target species being easy to find so just bear in mind what time of year it is when booking

We caught lots of fish. But from what I've heard when the water is warmer in the spring/fall the fishing is insane

Go somewhere else, halfway through our charter the captain said that red tide wiped out the fishing a handful of years ago 2018 and it’s still recovering.

Be open minded to what you may catch. And always remember fishing is fun catching is the bonus!

Not the most exciting harvest, but beautiful nonetheless. Cold weather makes the fish sluggish.

Weather temp in December is hit and miss but but if that doesn't bother you then this is the place to go.

Offshore fishing 60 to 70 miles out. 10 or 12hr trip will give you the best chance to catch the bigger fish.

Hire an experienced Captain like Mike Moran at Dragonfly Charters to guide you and put you on the fish

I would recommend leaving early, or going in the beginning evening. It gets really hot out and the sun is brutal.

I recommend a early morning trip while it is cool out. Also recommend a multi species trip so you can have a great day on the water.

Careful of the weather, as we had to move days due to storms, and ended up being on choppy water near the end of our trip making snapper fishing difficult.

Plan a half day trip if you are taking your kids for the first time. This gives you plenty of time to catch multiple fish.

Wear proper clothing, a hat, sunglasses, and definitely sun screen. Being on the water is always fun.

Always be prepared for changes in weather and conditions. Expect fishing and you’ll be satisfied. Especially fun when you never know what you might pull out of those waters.

Take a guide out and learn. The fishing was not difficult to learn if you have any type of fishing background

Just come with an open mind. Fishing here is different than where we're from. Different fish, different tackle, etc. Listen to your captain and have fun.

From what our captain had to say, it's really great fishing, but we only caught one ocean trout in 3 hours of fishing. Mostly due to the storm I'm assuming.

Call Captain Brian there are a lot of choices and you really need someone who wants to get you on the big fish and is willing to move around to do it.
