Warmer waters has the Snook fired up! Light tackle Snook action is keeping lines tight and anglers happy.  We found nice fish along the mouth of the Caloosahatchee river on both the Fort Myers and Cape Coral sides.  Live bait worked best on the warmer afternoon incoming tides.

The temps are finally warming up and the fishing is red hot here is Southwest Florida!

Plenty of Sheepshead still around for our northern guests.  The Sheepshead bite has been steady this season along the mouth of the Caloosahatchee river on both the Fort Myers and Cape Coral sides.  Shrimp tipped jigs and crabs (If you can find them) worked best. 

This warming trend has fired up the Snook bite big time! We found plenty of Snook chewing on the east side of Pine Island Sound directly across from Sanibel and Captiva Islands.  Big hand pick shrimp was magic for us along the sand and oyster bars on the sunny late morning and afternoon tide. 

Spring time fishing will be amazing this year.   Now is the time to book your spring trip and experience some unbelievable Cape Coral fishing!  Come see for yourself why we were voted the best Cape Coral fishing charters!

The cooler temps make for hot fishing here in southwest Florida!

There’s nothing I enjoy more in the winter than Gag Grouper fishing.  And while the species is closed for harvest, clients absolutely love the strong battles on light tackle. Gags can be found all over our waterway but we’ve been focusing along the mouth of the Caloosahatchee river on both the Fort Myers and Cape Coral sides.  Big chunks of ladyfish seem to do the teick every time.


Don’t let the cold temps fool you, after a brief warm up, the Snook bite turns on big time! We found plenty of Snook chewing on the east side of Pine Island Sound directly across from Sanibel and Captiva Islands.  Big hand pick shrimp is magic for us along the sand and oyster bars on the sunny late morning and afternoon  tide.
