As a seasoned fishing guide with over 20 years of experience and a Fort Myers native, I specialize in back bay and flats fishing in the Sanibel Island region. My standard fishing charter accommodates up to three anglers and utilizes either conventional spin or fly tackle, with the excursion duration ranging from four to eight hours.
Our fishing expeditions take place in shallow water, ranging from one to eight feet deep, either in serene grass flats or sheltered creeks and bays, providing a picturesque experience that is entirely immune to seasickness.
Should you prefer to bring your own tackle, you are more than welcome to. However, I supply all the necessary materials, including fly rods, spinning rods, lures, and flies. Furthermore, each angler receives a fishing license provided by me, hence eliminating the need to secure one independently.

Due to his dedication to searching for productive fishing spots long before you board his boat, Paul Hobby's love for fishing has earned him numerous accolades. Fishing has been a lifelong hobby that he has turned into a business, and as a skilled captain, he uses a Go-Pro to ensure you leave with unforgettable memories. As a satisfied customer for over 25 years, I highly recommend Paul's services. You can find more information about me at www.stevemazda.com or www.401kmagic.us.

Paul is an exceptional guide! I have had the pleasure of fishing with Paul for more than 19 years. He is a genuine expert, equipped with remarkable knowledge of the waters and the type of fish that you target. Unlike other guides, he is capable of tailoring the fishing experience according to your ability level. Furthermore, he is an expert when it comes to handling kids, and his personality is second to none. Spending a day with him on the waters will undoubtedly be enjoyable, and you will also learn a great deal from him. Bill Beans, Toledo Ohio.

With a knack for entertaining children, Paul puts in considerable effort to ensure his clients have a pleasurable experience. He also excels in flying and spinning. I have been on numerous inshore charters with him for over sixteen years and eagerly anticipate many more in the future.

Captain Paul Hobby has been our go-to guide for multiple charters, and we feel fortunate to have him in the Fort Myers/Cape Coral region. He has a remarkable talent for pinpointing fish, and we have had unforgettable experiences under his guidance. One trip, we caught numerous Snook, with some being particularly robust; I even reeled in a 36-inch behemoth fighter! You can see pictures on his website. We have been on other fishing excursions with Paul, as well, and he is always a pleasure to be around. We cannot recommend him enough!
