Born and raised in Southwest Florida, Captain Bobby knows the waters of Charlotte Harbor/Gasparilla Sound like the back of his hand. Learning to navigate the shallow grass flats and vast dense mangrove islands that Southwest Florida has to offer took years to accomplish. Growing up fishing these areas with his father at a young age is what set the foundation for how he fishes those same waters today.

Captain Bobby’s passion for fishing lead to a business that he’s owned and operated for over 13 years. Sharing his knowledge and techniques he’s learned over those years with his customers is really what it’s all about. From young children to the seasoned fisherman, whatever your age or skill level is, you’ll be sure to make memories with Captain Bobby.

Amazing trip with Captain Bobby. He took us to 4 or 5 different spots, and plenty of fish at each spot. My grandson’s (7 and 10 years old) were fishing for the first time, and Captain Bobby was very patient and helpful with them. The trip exceeded our expectations!

Excellent guide! We had a wonderful day with Bobby. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip wasting no time to change spots when the bite stopped. There were 4 of us and we had plenty space on his boat. We landed many snooks, mangrove snappers, trout, and more. We highly recommend Bobby and look forward to fishing with him in the future!

We had a great time. Very knowledgeable and capable guide. Fishing can be tough and there was a lot of pressure from other people. We moved several times to stay on the fish and Capt. Bobby seemed to alway know exactly where to find them. We caught a lot including snook, trout, and redfish. Highly recommend, kid friendly, quality boat and equipment.
