Another amazing spring break season is in the books!  Had a great time fishing with the  kids these last few weeks.  Lots of smiling faces as we caught our fare share of memorable moments!

Big Snook have rewarded our anglers these past few weeks.  We found nice numbers of Snook inside the passes of Sanibel and Captiva Islands.  Also found some decent fish in the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River along the Fort Myers and Cape Coral shorelines.   Too water artificial’s have been providing some great blow ups during the early morning hours. 

We’ve also found some decent numbers of upper slot Redfish along the Cape Coral shorelines of Matlacha Pass.  Dead bait worked best on the afternoon high tides waaaaay up in the bushes.

A family that fishes together…has a blast together!!!

Making more memories with our amazing returning friends and starting new awesome relationships with first time guests!

Big fish showed up for us this week!  We found good numbers of upper slot Redfish on the northern edges of Pine Island Sound during the afternoon high tides.  Cut bait worked best and didn’t take too long.

Great numbers of Snook kept our junior and senior anglers busy this past week. We worked the Cape Coral and Fort Myers shorelines hard trying to stay out of the wind and ww were rewarded by a steady bite.  The early morning outgoing tide proved to be the best using live bait. 

Still some dates left in April.  Call us today and let Captain Jay customize the trip of a lifetime for you and your family.  Come see why we are the top rated fishing charter in Cape Coral, Florida.

Spring break is here and the kids, and the captain, couldn’t be happier!

Been busy last couple of weeks with fish of all sizes and variety.  When fishing with kids, it’s all about the action!  We found lots of Snook, Redfish and Trout of all sizes to keep lines tight for hours.  Fishing has been great all along Pine Island Sound from Sanibel Island to north Captiva Island.  

Spent lots of time on the Caloosahatchee River that also produced some great shark action for the kids.  Bite was great along the Cape Coral and Fort Myers shorelines.  

Gearing up for more catching action with another round of spring breakers and luckily, the weather seems to be cooperating.

Weather and the fishing just keep getting better!

Looks like the cold winter temps may be done in our area with some rapid warming water getting the fish fired up!  Lost count on how many Snook we caught this week.  We found Snook of all sizes from the shorelines of Sanibel Island to Captiva Pass.  Lots of upper slot Snook were hungry on the high incoming tides along Cape Coral and Fort Myers shorelines. 

Matlacha Pass paid off for us last week with great numbers of upper a slot Redfish! Sure was nice seeing a healthy population of reds doing well.

Finally, some warm weather!!!

Looks like we may be nearing the end of this terrible winter weather and starting what should be an amazing spring!

Snook fishing continues to be solid action all around southwest Florida.  We’ve been finding good numbers of upper slot fish in the Cape Coral and Fort Myers canal systems.  Later afternoon and live bait was the key to success. 

Plenty of Trout around Sanibel and Captiva Islands.  Lots of under slot fish in the mix but great fun on light tackle while working for your limit.  Live shrimp worked great for us this last week on the flats in Pine Island Sound!

Very limited spots left for March as we near the spring break madness.  Give captain Jay a call today to reserve your spot and get those kids fishing!

The weather is warming up and so is the fishing!!!

The warming trend has really gotten the bite going here in southwest Florida. Especially the Snook! We had steady Snook action all last week with good numbers of upper slot fish as well as many under slot releases.  

The shorelines along Cape Coral and Fort Myers produced the bigger fish on the high afternoon tides.  Handpick shrimp worked best for us as well as some whitebait. 

We found lots of just under slot fish in the deeper cuts on low tide along Sanibel and Captiva Islands.  The lower than normal tides made it hard to access some areas but we were definitely rewarded for it.

Should be an amazing spring this year with spectacular fishing.  Spring break is just around the corner!  Call us today and let’s get those kids outdoors and fishing!!

It’s winter in southwest Florida…. Trout time!!!

Been finding some decent schools of Speckled Sea Trout in their usual winter time locations along Pine Island Sound.  Also found some good numbers on the south side of Matlacha Pass.  Lots of under slot fish have kept us busy with a good amount of slot and some over slot mixed in. 

Water temps are warming up along the Caloosahatchee River with the afternoon higher tides.  Some good action on rat reds and Snook along the Cape Coral and Fort Myers shore lines.   Handpick shrimp and small pilchards were the key baits with this cold water.

Couple days of some serious wind is now behind us and the fish are hungry!

First day back out on the water after a crazy windy week and we found some seriously hungry Snook all along Pine Island Sound.  Some higher than normal tides for this time of year gave us full access to areas around Sanibel and Captiva Islands, where we found more Snook, some smaller slot Redfish and nice Trout. 

Been staying out of the wind in the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River and it’s paid off with more big Snook and some very nice Sheepshead.  Worked the shorelines of Cape Coral and Fort Myers with nice numbers on both sides.

Speaking of Sheepshead, with this colder weather, this should be an epic year for our northern guests favorite table fare!
