You’ll fish aboard a top-of-the-line 2016 Pathfinder 2200TE, a boat designed for ultimate performance in inshore and nearshore waters. Powered by a 2016 Yamaha 200 Vmax SHO, it combines speed and fuel efficiency with a smooth, dry ride. Fully outfitted with a Garmin GPS/fishfinder, a 10-foot Power Pole shallow water anchor, and a Minn Kota trolling motor, this boat is built for serious fishing. There’s even an Engel 65 cooler stocked with ice-cold water to keep you refreshed throughout the trip.
Fort Myers is famous for its endless back bays, mangrove shorelines, and nearshore waters teeming with fish. Inshore, you can target iconic species like Redfish, Snook, Spotted Seatrout, and Tarpon (season permitting). Venture a bit further out, and you’ll have the chance to hook Kingfish, Tripletail, Gag Grouper, Sheepshead, Cobia, and more. Whatever your fishing goals, Captain Griffin’s extensive local knowledge and adaptability ensure you’ll be in the right spot at the right time.
Captain Griffin offers a variety of fishing techniques, from light tackle and spinning to live baiting and bottom fishing. He prepares live bait ahead of time, so you can start fishing the moment you hit the water. Whether you’re chasing inshore species or testing your skills against nearshore fighters, Captain Griffin has the gear, experience, and expertise to make your trip a success. Anglers of all ages are welcome, and Captain Griffin takes pride in helping children and beginners learn the ropes and reel in their first fish.
