Amazing Goliath Grouper!

Captain Brian Lynch and his crew of Sea Shift Charters are at it again. This time, they're fishing for Goliath Grouper off the coast of Cape Coral, FL. The Goliath grouper is a large fish that can weigh up to 700 pounds! It has a unique ability to change its color depending on where it lives in the ocean and what type of light is hitting it. They have huge mouths that help them catch prey such as fish and shrimp. Sea Shift Charters has been fishing for Goliath Grouper in this area for over 30 years, but they've never caught one quite like this before! We're excited to see what kind of photos they'll be able to share once they do!

Went fishing today with Capt Brian. We caught bait with him and immediately hooked some lady fish and tons of bait fish from the cast net. We hooked several keepers sea trout. Saw a few sharks, tarpon and also probably 15 dolphins. It was relaxing. He knows the spots and he has been fishing in these waters for 50 years. We each caught 15 fish atleast with 60 bites. He is a first responder owned business. Best time celebrating my husband's 40th birthday.

Captain Brian is very knowledgeable and will work his tail off to put you on the fish!

Brian is so patient and willing to teach as he guides the boat. He is calm and encouraging and will coach you while you're pulling in the big ones. I felt empowered and more confident with my fishing skills and abilities because of his guidance and encouragement. Not only is he a great guide, but such a kind-hearted man as well! I will be going out on the water with him again!

I had so much fun out on the boat! First time fishing and caught really big snook and red fish. Brian Lynch was so patient and taught me all the tricks for a great fishing experience. We went to all the best spots and hidden creeks of Fort Myers. I had a blast!! Thank you!

May 31, 2025

Excellent service, great with my wife and kiddos, 13 and 8. He got us on fish right away and kept us on them. He worked in a trip the next day with just myself to hit some blue water. It was a tough day with choppy water and scattered cover, but we got a cuda, a king, and 2 sharks. I highly recommend Joey.
