Reported 1 month 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.

The fishing has been great the past few weeks! The water is cooling and the fish are chewing. Now is a great time to cast a line and make some memories. The redfish are eating shrimp tipped jig heads or shrimp under floats along oyster bars and mangrove islands. We are also picking up plenty of mangrove snapper with this set-up.

The fall bite is starting to heat up on the flats. Redfish trout and snook are in and fishing has been on fire. Shark charters are also starting to pick back up as the water cools off a little bit as the fall comes in.

We have officially entered our fall bite season, redfish have started to school up and the migratory and river tarpon are in the harbor and they are biting! We have been catching many tarpon over 150lbs. The juvenile tarpon bite has been excellent with some beautiful snook mixed in too, come on down to Florida and make some fishing memories that will last forever

Trip: Iguana Hunt With Iguana DOG!!!

★★★★★
Awesome trip in every aspect. Logan is a top notch guide, not only does he provide an incredible hunt, but he’s one of the most personable guides I’ve ever met which really makes the experience feel like hunting with friends. From the top of the line equipment, to his dog Kona being one of the best behaved and responsive retrievers, he’s the only guide you should book with.

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.

Trip: Fort Myers/Sanibel Inshore Charter

★★★★★
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: Iguana Hunt With Iguana DOG!!!

★★★★★
Captain Tim is hands down one of the best charter captains you could ask for when it comes to inshore fishing! He knows the water like the back of his hand and has an incredible ability to know when and where the fish are going to be. He handled our group of six with ease, making sure everyone was taken care of, having a great time, and, most importantly, getting the opportunity to catch fish. Keeping six people fishing and having a successful trip is no easy task, but Captain Tim made it look effortless with his experience, knowledge, and professionalism. If you’re looking for a captain who knows his waters, puts you on the fish, and makes sure everyone has a memorable day on the water, Captain Tim is your guy! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable inshore fishing experience!
