About Your Trip

If you’re looking to explore the rich inshore waters stretching from Marco Island to Sanibel, Captain Robert has you covered. These backcountry and flats trips are tailored to anglers of all skill levels, offering a fun, personalized day on the water whether you’re chasing your first fish or adding to a lifetime of catches.

The focus here is on light tackle and fly fishing for Southwest Florida’s favorite inshore game fish. Depending on the season and your trip length, you might tangle with Snook, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, or even the mighty Tarpon. With Robert’s local knowledge, it often doesn’t take long before you hear that sweet call of “fish on!”

You’ll fish from a 19’ Tarpon Bay flats boat, ideal for sneaking through shallow backwaters and working the mangrove shorelines. Outfitted with GPS, fishfinder, live bait well, wireless trolling motor, and an ice box, it has all the tools needed for a productive trip. The boat accommodates up to 3 anglers, making this a great choice for small groups, friends, or families. Kids are welcome—just be sure to confirm the right-sized life vest is available or bring your own.

Captain Robert provides rods, reels, bait, tackle, fly gear, fishing licenses, catch cleaning, and drinks, so you won’t have to worry about logistics. Just pack sunglasses, non-spray sunscreen, and a few snacks or extra drinks if you’d like. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but please avoid glass bottles and hard liquor.

Trip Options:

- Half-Day Trips (Morning or Afternoon): Work the inshore waters for Snook, Redfish, Trout, Snapper, and Sheepshead.
- 3/4 Day Trips: Extend your time on the water and add the chance to chase Tarpon alongside Snook and Redfish.

Meeting locations are flexible, giving you the option to start closer to where you’re staying, and trip times can be discussed directly with Captain Robert.

From the mangrove tunnels to open flats, these trips showcase the best of Southwest Florida’s inshore fishing. Book your charter with Captain Robert today!
