Sanibel Island Fishing Guides and Charters

Sanibel Island Fishing  was busy this week with Guides and Charters.
All the Charters had great times fishing with perfect weather. The weather looks great again the next 10 days.
Sunny sky's brought out some big redfish and seatrout up onto the flats. The last couple of days Huge Sharks have shown up. We hooked a 10 footer on 20# test line. "Thats was cool". I'll try and boat a big guy this week and get some cool photos.
See ya on the water!

Sanibel Fishing Charters

Sanibel Fishing with Island Inn.
We had a great day fishing with the Island Inn of Sanibel.
Chris Davison and Steve Hatfield had an epic day on the water catching over the slot redfish in double digits and monster trout.

The Island Inn is a resort property featuring a combination of quaint “Old Florida” cottages and modern lodges sitting on 10 beautiful Gulf front acres, offering 550 feet of private beach with some of the best shelling in the area.  Every room and cottage, most with screened porches, overlooks the beautiful 10-acre shaded beachfront yard, just steps from the gentle warm waters of the Gulf.  The Inn is also home to one of the area’s only waterfront restaurant/bar/lounges, Traditions on the Beach.  A slew of amenities include restaurant, bar, heated outdoor pool, tennis court, volleyball court, shuffleboard court, horseshoe pits, complimentary beach chairs, kayak/paddleboard rentals, bike rentals and free Wi-Fi. In every accommodation you can expect free daily maid service, A/C, flat screen LCD TV, DVD/CD player, Wi-Fi, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, iron, ironing board, hair dryer and full kitchen (in some).  Cherished memories, modern comforts... enjoy it all at the Island Inn.

Sanibel Fishing Guides and Charters

The weather and the fishing is still warm here around Sanibel Island.
Shark fishing has picked up this last week.
Redfishing is good and the trouts are biting too.
Since the weather is so nice we might as well go hook something big right!
See ya on the water!

Captiva Fishing Charters

Fishing this week was great for the big sea trout and redfish.
Warmer water has the fish feeding better and the weather has been beautiful.
My clients also caught some nice flounder and pompano this week.
Big sharks are looking to feed in the shallow water and there always a blast to hook into.
Come visit are beautiful beaches here at Sanibel and Captiva.

Sam fished with me a couple times this week and caught nice fish.

Fort Myers Fishing Report

Great weather here in Ft. Myers and Sanibel Island.
Water temperatures are colder and bait is scarce. I spend much of my time on the polling platform this time of year sneaking up on redfish and trout. The tides are low and the water is gin clear. Long cast with top water action is perfect in Jan. and Feb.
