Capt Paul Hobby Fishing Charters

Reds, Snook, Sea Trout, Amber Jack are just a few of the fish that we caught today with Captain Paul. I fish often bit my wife only goes out every now and then so our goal today was just to put my wife on some fish. Paul was very knowledgeable, patient, and a great teacher. This was all the things we needed to make this a special trip for my wife. Captain Paul did great and I would highly recommend him no matter what your skill level is.

Exactly as advertised and could not agree more with other reviews. Captain Paul is the guy in the Ft. Myers area to take you and a buddy out on the water in search for some great fishing! My buddy and I were traveling down from Wisconsin and New York, Cpt. Paul was totally flexible about scheduling a time that worked for our flights arrivals.
Gave us the go-​ahead to bring some refreshments and a few cold ones out on our trip. He was right on time at the dock, he was even out before our scheduled time catching bait fish which we didn’t have to waste time doing during our charter. Cpt Paul was super patient with some of our not so stellar casts and gave us plenty of insight to help with technique. When the fish weren’t biting like we hoped for he moved us to different area’s and found us action.
All in all we had an incredible day catching tons of fish, laughing, catching up with one of my best friends that I don’t get to see often. Cpt. Paul is a superb fishing guide, super knowledgeable (been in the area for a long time), and a great guy to spend the day with on your charter. Will go out of his way to make sure everyone is having a good time, comfortable and safe. I highly recommend Cpt. Paul and will for sure give him a call if we make it back down to the area again! Thanks for the memories!

Fished with Captain Paul Hobby today and he knows Pine Island and knows how to put you on the fish. He loves what he does and you can tell he gets enjoyment watching you succeed with a rod and reel. Super personable guide and would recommend him to anyone visiting the Fort Meyers /​Sanibel area. We will certainly be back to fish with him next year!

Paul Hobby is THE guy to book a fishing charter with. He is 100% dedicated to his business and making each trip worthwhile. I cannot recommend anyone else. He knows the waters, and he knows the fish. If you’re looking for the best guide in beautiful Southwest Florida waters, you need to book him. Excellent personality too. You will not be disappointed!

I have fished with Paul Hobby each year during my annual migration from the North. I am an avid fisherman and have fished with many guides around the world. Paul knows his business and works to insure that his clients enjoy themselves. Paul has put us on Redfish, Snook and Tarpon. He has an intimate knowledge of the back waters and knows how to put you on fish. In addition he will help you to improve your skill sets to catch and land the «big» ones. Last Spring I landed a 100+ Tarpon which was the thrill of a life time! Call Paul and have a wonderful fishing experience!

I have been fishing southwest Florida for the past 18 years and each year I return at least once, twice or three times to fish with Captain Paul Hobby. We have fished from Ft. Myers Beach, to Ding Darling Preserve on Sanibel, to Captiva, Redfish Pass, Cayo Costa and all the way up to Boca Grande. When I return to fish with Paul, my experience has gone beyond a customer and guide. As I have told people, I feel like I am visiting a family member who is an excellent fishing guide and is able to provide an excellent fishing experience. I often spin fish and occasionally fly fish and Paul provides the necessary equipment for both types of fishing. I have found Paul to be extremely patient and supportive when I have «blown» a cast and because of the unique relationship that we have, he is not above teasing me now when I lose a fish or struggle to land a tarpon or redfish. I believe that newcomers and experienced anglers will have a very positive experience fishing with Captain Paul Hobby.
