A Fishin’ Mission is Captain Phil Evans’s Sanibel Island fishing service. He guides anglers of different skill levels and plans each outing around tides, wind and water temperature.

Contact and booking details

The guide and fishing

Phil’s introduction describes a lifelong interest in fishing and long relationships with returning guests. His local trips cover inshore and nearshore water. The operator lists snook, redfish, trout, snapper and seasonal tarpon among possible targets. Tell him whether your priority is learning, a particular species or a relaxed day.

Published trip prices

A four-hour trip is $600, six hours is $800 and eight hours is $950. Confirm how many people the quote covers and the exact boat, since the reviewed pages do not provide a clear current passenger limit or vessel specification.

Equipment and packing

Fishing tackle and fishing-license coverage are supplied. Guests are asked to bring sunglasses, a hat, non-aerosol sunscreen, food and water. Before booking with children, discuss trip length, correctly sized life jackets and any restroom or shade needs.

Deposits and contact

A $100 deposit reserves the date. The published terms make it refundable if you cancel more than seven days before the charter, or if Phil cancels because of weather. Text is the preferred contact method, with phone and email also available. Get the dock address, arrival time and final inclusions in the booking confirmation.
