Punta Gorda, Florida
Reported 6 days ago
Bait is still solid in Charlotte harbor. Still plenty of big and small tarpon. Snook are plentiful as they begin their usual migration up the rivers and are fattening up. 50 to 60 FISH days are common right now and it will continue until we get our first cold front. Going forward we will concentrate on trout and sheepshead when it does cool down, but as long as the water temperatures remain good almost everything will bite

The nearshore bites been strong with lots of cobia, a great goliath bite and lots of jacks and Spanish mackerel. The cobia are eating 2-3 inch pilchards and the goliaths are eating whatever big bait you can get to them however the hard parts stopping them!

Reported 2 weeks ago
Fishing around Pine Island/Matlacha/Sanibel has been heating up with these slightly cooler temperatures as we transition into fall. The delayed rainy season can make dialing in conditions on the water a little tricky but with the right tide and some sun you can definitely find the fish.

Schools of redfish have been popping up all over the sound, as well as jacks and the snook are coming back in to head to their winter haunts so sight fishing them in skinny water is a blast right now.

    Trip: Fort Myers/Sanibel Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Drew is a great captain. We tried for some larger snook, got a couple big ones on the line, but due to user error didn’t get them in the boat. We also got some snapper, trout, lady, cat and some other small ones. He was at the ramp early with fresh caught bait. He shared stores and we made good friends with him before we left.

    Fantastic experience! Captain was extremely accommodating. Tons of Action and a nice bag of game to take home and eat.. top notch equipment the guns are real deal too of line. We’ve been coming to Estero 1-2 times a year for 10 years and so a trip every time and I’m glad I finally found someone I can book every year and have a great experience! Can’t say enough.

    Trip: Inshore Fishing Trip

    We had an absolute blast fishing with Captain Ty! He put us on an incredible variety of fish, including Goliath grouper, shark, snook, and ladyfish. 🎣 Captain Ty worked incredibly hard the entire trip. He never gave up and did everything he could to put us on fish and keep us on them. His knowledge, effort, and determination made the trip an experience we won’t forget. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter, I highly recommend Captain Ty. We had an amazing time, and I will definitely be back and booking another trip with him! Thanks again, Captain Ty, for an awesome day on the water! 🤙🎣

    Captain Chris was amazing! He provided great communication before our iguana hunting trip and during. Captain Chris was great with his instructions for our 10-year old and 8-year old. He was also very considerate and had a great approach to dealing with kids. We saw quite a few iguanas, shot quite a few, and recovered quite a bit. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd highly recommend Captain Chris! Very knowledgeable and experienced!
