Capt. Paul Hobby's Back Country Charters

Fishing from my 18-foot EGRET flats boat with all the top quality tackle you can use in a hard day of fishing, you'll never get any pressure to make a perfect cast. The goal for the day is to catch fish and have a good time. Fortunately, the sea trout, snook, tarpon, redfish, jacks, and other gamefish that swim in the waters around Fort Myers are usually cooperative.

Whether you prefer fly fishing or working with spinning or plug-casting equipment, you'll find plenty of action around Sanibel and Captiva. I'm comfortable guiding anglers with any method they enjoy. We always use the lightest tackle that's appropriate for each situation.

While most clients prefer to use either flies or artificial lures, I'm not a purist--if you prefer tossing live bait, we can do that, too!

I'm a full-time fishing guide and a native of the Fort Myers area. I've been guiding anglers in the waters around Sanibel, Captiva, and Fort Myers for years.
