We intended to fish inshore, but with Captain Alan’s recommendation, we decided to go further out and take our chances. He was right! After two hours of catching enough mackerel for multiple meals for our group of 9, we moved further out and caught sharks for two hours - hammerhead, silkies, and black tips. We took six tourists ranging in age from 8 to 85 and everyone caught plenty of fish and had a fantastic trip. Our grill was overflowing with fresh, blackened fish that evening. Highly... Meer

Captain Alan has a very nice boat that easily accommodated 2 adults and 4 kids. He got us on the fish quickly, and we had a productive trip. He gave us a lot of fishing options and was open to whatever we were interested in. Everyone caught fish, which was great for the kids. We walked away with enough filets to feed our family of 12 twice. A superb fishing platform, with high quality tackle, made for an excellent morning. I highly recommend Spangler Adventures if you’re in the Fort Myers/Sanibel/Captiva... Meer

Alan knows his fishing well! Was prepared to catch all sorts of fish, and probably the best thing was how patient he was with my sons. They were all ecstatic. He’s a very personable guy too, we talked for hours about the little but important things in life. Snook, sea trout, lady fish, some catfish and even a few shark. Look no further, you’ve found the best charter down here.

Captain Spangler was great, he took myself and three teenage boys out to Pine Island Sound to catch fish. His boat was a 26ft Carolina skiff with plenty of room. We fished from about 12:30 pm to 4:30 pm, it was a sunny day with low breeze, Captain Spangler helped the boys cast to where the fish were located. All the boys were successful and landed fish! A great time was had by all!

We were very lucky to have captain Alan for our family fishing trip in Captiva. The boat was great, he was very knowledgeable, patient with the kids, and we caught tons of fish. We have teenagers so he found the right balance of waiting for fish while keeping things moving so they didn’t get bored. We went home with a great day of memories and some fish for dinner!
