Fort Myers Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Fort Myers
Tarpon season is in full swing here in Boca Grande, and June is always one of the best months to chase the Silver King. The fish are here in good numbers, and they’ve been aggressive and ready to eat.
We’ve been seeing plenty of opportunities and some incredible battles on the water. If a tarpon has been on your bucket list, now is the time to make it happen.
I still have a few dates available in June. Reach out to book your trip and experience one of Florida’s most exciting fisheries before the season slips away.

Been out everyday. Now is the time for huge snook. Sharks, Goliath grouper and tarpon are easy to catch right now. The bite will stay that way for a while.

Current Naples fishing report has the waters warming up into the mid 80s, the tarpon eating on the beaches, the reds and snapper eating in the magroves, and the snook getting packed in the passes for the summer spawn!
Each trip we have been on in the last few weeks has had been loaded with excitement and the chances to hook and catch the trophy of a lifetime.
The bait has shifted to mainly freshly netted pilchards, but everything is still eating shrimp.
In fact, if it's dinner you're after, and live well full of live shrimp will all but...

In fact, if it's dinner you're after, and live well full of live shrimp will all but guarantee a fresh load of mangrove snapper at the cleaning table!
There's been lots of big redfish in the backcountry mangroves...some are too big to keep, but most are in the upper slot (size range we are allowed to keep 18-27") and they have been e as ting pilchards, cut chunks of mullet, and shrimp.
Their cousins, the black drum have been eating shrimp, pn the incoming tides, and crashing the snapper party.
This is the ti.e of year that offers the chance to get the snook of a lifetime...the big snook are active, hungry, and eating pilchards as they prepare for the very spawning season that starts in June. They can range from small ones in the low 20s, to mid 40 inch monsters that rip drags, and totally test our nerves and skills as they use every piece of structure in the area to break the line, as they try to break our hearts.
The giant tarpon are all over the way morning beaches, back bays, and passes. The big sharks are in the back bays, and off the beaches, and both are ready to test your strength and resolve

There are big drum in big schools up to 100s of them. You can find them in 4ft of water and sight cast them. Now this time of year. We saw a school today kicking up mud look for crabs and were marking them on side scan on the lowrance but it was 15ft deep with current so harder to get a bait directly in front of them.
Also Goliath grouper from end of January. The water behind the people was so calm that was 7 miles offshore at a whopping 11ft deep

Jack was Great, he put us on fish right away, we caught our limit on Red Fish and speckle trout, and plenty of catch and release

6/5 stars. Amazing experience, wonderful guide. Badass dog. Brought home a trophy and my son got to have a one of kind experience. Logan is as good as it gets.

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.

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.

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!
