The night time is the right time!!

After a long summer, there’s nothing better then heading out in the late afternoon for that sunset bite!  It’s that time of year for the big Snook to start moving and munching as they work they’re way back into the estuaries and rivers. 

Fall is a great time for Caoe Coral fishing! Tides are higher than normal and temps finally start to level off.  Cape Coral and Fort Myers shorelines start to clean up and that leads to even better fishing.  

We still have some days available for October, which is a fantastic time if year.  Come see why we continue to be rated the best Cape Coral Fishing Charter!  We guarantee to provide you and your group with the best experience possible. 

We also offer eco tours, dolphin tours, shelling trips, sunset trips and much more.  

Salty Native Charters is proud to service the greater southwest Florida area including Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Captiva Island and Pine Island, Florida.

Fall season is right around the corner here in Cape Coral and that means great fishing! 

We are off to a great September with plenty of big Snook and nice over slot Redfish to be found all over southwest Florida! 

Had a great group of guests this past week who really wanted to target big Redfish and boy did we deliver! Best bite came on the early morning high tides along the deeper cuts of Pine Island Sound between Sanibel Island and Captiva Island. 

The afternoon low tide proved to be very beneficial for our guests as we continued to find nice numbers of Redfish in Matlacha Pass. 

We are honored to be nominated for best fishing charters in Cape Coral, Florida!  Give us a call today and experience for yourself the amazing fishery and marine wildlife encounters Cape Coral has to offer!

It’s about that time.  With September just around the corner, BIG SNOOK is the targeted fall species!

September and October are my favorite time of year to target big line siders.  Big fish start their migration back into the inland waters of Cape Coral and Fort Myers.  Quality baits are plentiful all along Pine Island Sound from Sanibel Island north to Captiva Island. 

September also means big Redfish. Especially on the higher tides of Matlacha Pass.  Upper slot reds love them some cut bait deep inside the mangroves that surround the pass.

Snook, Snook, and more Snook!

The Snook action has been nothing short of fantastic the last few weeks in southwest Florida!  Lots of upper slot fish to be found all along Pine Island Sound from the southern end of Sanibel Island up north to Captiva Island.  

We also found lots of lower slot linesiders hanging around the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River on both the Cape Coral and Fort Myers shorelines.  Live bait is getting bigger and better and that only means September fishing will continue to be fire! 

Fall is quickly approaching and with it comes the best inshore fishing action in the Cape Coral and Fort Myers area.  Call us today to book your custom trip and experience for yourself why we are the best fishing charters Cape Coral has to offer!

Summer break is in full swing and our guests are having a blast.  Catching some tasty fish is a bonus!!

Mangrove snappers have been the highlight of our trips the last two weeks. The weather has been very cooperative, allowing us to hit some of our near shore reefs for some tasty Mang’s. We are finding great quality fish just offshore of Sanibel Island Captiva Island.  The early morning and late evening bite has been the best with live bait.

Lots of Snook in the Inshore Waters providing some great action on light tackle.  The summer high tides are driving the fish deep into the mangroves of Pine Island Sound.  Finding some nice size fish along the mouth of the river on both the Cape Coral and Fort Myers Shorelines. 

Given the good fishing we’ve had so far this summer, we expect nothing but the best in August and September. 

Give us a call today and come experience for yourself why we are Cape Coral‘s best fishing charter!  We also offer dolphin tours, Eco Tours, shelling tours and various boating adventures all along in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island and Captiva Island.

July is proving to be red hot!  Excellent Redfish action inshore and delicious mangrove snapper near shore!

Taking full advantage of the high tides this time of year has paid off for our anglers with steady catches of upper/over slot Redfish waaaaay up under the trees.  We had our best luck in mid Pine Island on both the Sanibel Island and Captiva Island sides as well as the Pine Island side of the sound. 

Calm summer mornings have given us smooth seas to the nearshore snapper grounds where we have been rewarded with some slob Mangrove snappers! Not only a blast on light tackle but probably one of the best tasting fish in the Gulf! 

Snook continues to keep us busy along the Cape Coral and Fort Myers shorelines.  Catch and release only for them this time of year but the fight is still a blast for first timers!

Give us a call today and see for yourself why we are ranked the best fishing charters in Cape Coral, Florida.  Not into fishing? No problem! We also offer eco tours, dolphin excursions, shelling trips and waterfront dining transpiration.  Life is good in Cape Coral!

Summer is in full swing and that means families catching fish!!!

We had a nice run with some good quality fish the last couple of weeks.  The higher tides around the moon have provided plenty of area to cover for some steady Snook action. Double hook ups became a common theme on Snook last two weeks and while no monsters were raised, plenty of fun to be had!

We found decent schools of slot Redfish with the high tides as well.  Fresh cut finger mullet was the ticket for us this last week.  We had good luck in the Pineland area with that afternoon high tide. 

Plenty of summer sun left to enjoy this year.  Give us a call today and see why we are the best fishing charter outfitter in Cape Coral.  Fishing, shelling, eco tours, dolphin tours and sunset trips, there’s nothing we can’t accommodate.  Staying on a canal in Cape Coral? We’ll  pick you up right at the dock!

Wishing all our family, friends, and loyal clients a fun and safe 4th of July!!!

The heavy rains last week had the fish moving around. Fortunately for us, they were hungry!

Snook continue to provide the best action this summer with good numbers of upper slot fish being landed along the passes and creeks of Sanibel Island and Captiva Island.  

The intense fresh water from last weeks rain event has pushed the river Snook out from Cape Coral and Fort Myers shorelines and into the higher levels of salinity found in the northern area of Pine Island Sound. 

Weather appears to be settling into a normal summer pattern now and that means beautiful clear mornings that are fantastic for some fishing and sight seeing. Call us today and speak directly with Captain Jay to book your custom trip.  Come see why we continue to be rated the best fishing charters in Cape Coral!  

We provide easy and convenient pick up/drop off services for all of Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, matlacha, and Pine Island.

The inshore bite in May was phenomenal and June is not disappointing!

What a great week we had to finish the month! The Snook bite was some of the best we’ve had in years.  We had double hook ups of slot fish on every trip the last 2 weeks!  The best bite came on the afternoon high tides along the river shoreline of Cape Coral and Fort Myers.  We also found some decent fish near the passes between Sanibel and Captiva Islands in the early morning hours.  

Big mangrove snappers are showing up as expected during the summer.  We found some very nice mangs along the deeper cuts of Pine Island Sound as well as Matlacha pass.  Some near shore structures also provided nice fish on the calmer days.  Shrimp and small shiners were the go to baits!

Come experience some of the most amazing sunrises and sunsets while catching trophy fish for you and your family.  There is a reason we are the top rated fishing charter service in Cape Coral! We also offer pick up/drop of services in Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, Pine Island and Matlacha.

Midway through May and the bite has been great! Warm weather has the fish on the move and hungry!

Snook action has been nothing short of fantastic the last few weeks.  Big fish are chewing early in the morning along the passes of Sanibel and Captiva Island.  The shorelines along Fort Myers and Cape Coral are also providing great linesider action.  Mostly with the afternoon high tides.  Top water baits and live shiners worked best for us lately.  

Snook aren’t the only fish keeping our anglers busy.  We’ve been on a nice school of upper slot Redfish in the late afternoon along Matlacha Pass.  Cut bait has been working the best for us way under the trees.  

Our summer mornings are hard to beat here in beautiful southwest Florida.  Call captain Jay today and book your custom charter.  Come experience why we are the best fishing charter in Cape Coral.  We also provide service in the Fort Myers, Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, Fort Myers Beach and Pine Island Sound.
