Hurrican Ian Update

10/3/2022

 
As you know, Hurricane Ian has devastated SWFL's barrier Islands of Ft Myers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva, St James City and Matlacha.  As of 10/3/22 search and rescue is still underway.  The community and volunteers from out of state have done an amazing job at coming together to clean up, bring supplies and help out with rebuilding. 

Currently we are receiving a lot of calls from residence of barrier Islands to shuttle them by boat to their homes.  That is not currently an option.  Search and rescue needs to be completed before private citizens can use boat ramps or access the islands.  Once FWC has allowed us access we will be taking families to their homes and businesses on barrier Islands.  Keep an eye on this page for more updates. 

Fort Myers Fishing Report for November 18, 2020

11/18/2020

 
Hurricanes and tropical storms aren't normal for Florida in November but there hasn't been much of anything that's normal for us in 2020.  Aside from Tropical storm Eta bringing us a weeks worth of rain and wind in early November, we've had a great month of solid fishing days.  Our targeted species have been Snook, Redfish and Trout with even Tarpon still lingering in the area.  This is one of the best times of year for productive, fun, family fishing and not a better time to do it than Thanksgiving week.  We still have some charters available because of a few last minute cancellations.  You can Check our availability HERE.

Fort Myers Fishing Report For September 29, 2020

9/29/2020

 
There's nothing I love more than lower humidity, football season and some of the best fishing of the year.  Usually September is our off season because families are getting back from their summer vacations and trying to settle into a new school year with the kids.  2020 is different.  I'm sure we can all agree covid has changed our lives and routines this year.  The positive side of Covid if there is one, is that families are getting outdoors and they're getting the chance to fish in what I consider one of the best times of year to fish inshore.  Not only that but this September has brought a few cool fronts which have lowered the humidity so it's not as hot which has made fishing much more enjoyable and the bite has been great.  

The redfish Spawn is every fall and we've been catching several on each trip.  There have also been smaller Tarpon still in the area which has made fishing even more exciting.  In addition to that we are consistently catching Snook and Trout.  If fishing's on your mind, now's the time to get out and do it.

Fort Myers Fishing Report For April 15, 2020

4/15/2020

 

Tarpon & Shark

Late April through summer is the start of our Tarpon and Shark season.  Unfortunately for the country we are dealing with a pandemic which is keeping most families home during these uncertain times.

Fortunately, the Tarpon and Shark aren't aware of the Covid-19 and it's business as usual for them.  Even better there's less people on the water trying to catch them.  

We are open for business and our charters are "private" and limited to parties of 5 people or less. It's important to stay safe and it's also important to get out of the house and enjoy some normalcy and fresh air.  Give us a call and lets go fishing.  #essential

Plenty Of Fish February

Being that we had the warmest January on record since 1880.  We've had plenty of fish to catch so far this February.  Fish really like these moderate temperatures.  Not too cold and not too hot.  We've also been starting to see a few Tarpon start showing up which means Tarpon and Shark season will be here sooner than normal.  Typically Tarpon season runs late April through July.  

Snook, Trout and Redfish are still catch and release until May 2020 because of the red tide from summer of 2018 but the good news is the fish population has really bounced back.  Especially the Trout.  

If you're interested in more than catch and release and you'd like to put some food on the table,  we've been catching a lot of sheepshead, snapper and mackeral.  

The bottom line is the fishing's been good and if you'd like to get out on the water to soak up the suns rays and breath in the salty air, now's the time to do it.  Spring breaks right around the corner and the calendars filling up quick.

Fort Myers Tarpon Fishing

Tarpon season has gotten off to a slow start this year.  Typically they're moving up the coast in pods late March, early April but they've only recently started to show up in large enough numbers to target.  This past week was really windy but they didn't seem to mind and we got the fish to eat.  Below are two charters that got on the poon.  #fortmyersfishingcharters #fortmyerstarponfishing

Fort Myers Fishing Charters

Take a look at these beauties.  It's just a few of the fish we've caught this week while on our charters.  Pretty nice catch for some back bay, shallow water fishing.  These Black drum were among some nice size Cobia and Snook that we've been catching.  If this weather holds up, it looks like March is going to be a great month to be on the water.  #fortmyersfishingcharters#fortmyersfishingguides

Cobia Fishing in Fort Myers

It's paradise and I'm just lucky to be living in it.  Our snow is sand.  It's messy but i'll take it any day over the cold, snowy weather that our northern friends have to face.  We didn't get sandy this week but I did come home smelling fishy from all the Cobia we caught on our charters.  I even got pulled over for a random safety check by an fwc officer during a trip which btw, is extremely annoying; Clients still kept fishing and caught the Cobia pictured bottom left.  Not an ideal situation but we made the best of it and they went home with dinner.  

March availability is getting slim.  Book your charter soon so your not "fishing" for a last minute trip!

Fort Myers Redfish Charters

Today was a beautiful day spent catching fish.  A lot of fish.  Redfish to be specific.  This is such a welcomed site considering the fish kill from the red tide that plagued our coast this past summer.  The past few days of fishing have been good to us.  Proof that our fishery is headed in the right direction.

Book your Spring break fishing charters soon.  Spots are filling up quick.

*Snook and Redfish are catch and release through May 2019.

Fort Myers Fishing Report For February 9, 2019

Fort Myers fishing

The past week of fishing in Fort Myers has been all about the sheepshead bite.  We've had a great week of weather and flat water which has allowed for us to get to some nearby wrecks.  Although the bites been good in general, the Sheepsheads have been the most productive.  I's safe to say there's been a lot of fish put on the dinner table.  Within the next few weeks some of the best fishing of the year will begin, just in time for our spring break visitors.  Book your charter soon.  Spots are filling up quick.
