About Your Trip
Join Captain Erik for an action-packed inshore fishing trip in the waters of Fort Myers, Pine Island Sound, and Estero Bay. Depending on conditions and the bite, you’ll fish shallow flats, mangroves, and backcountry waters, all within a short run from the launch. Most trips get lines in the water quickly, so you spend more time fishing and less time running.
You’ll be fishing from a comfortable center console boat equipped with quality rods, reels,
live bait, and all required safety gear. This is a hands-on experience where Captain Erik works directly with you — no large groups, just a personal trip focused on getting you on fish. The trip is ideal for up to 3 guests (4th can be added), making it perfect for families, kids, and small groups.
Trips are fully customizable based on your goals and experience level. Whether you want to target specific species, learn new techniques, or just enjoy a fun day catching whatever is biting, the plan can be adjusted to fit your trip. A mix of live bait and artificial lures is used, with techniques like light tackle fishing, sight casting, and drift fishing.
You’ll have the opportunity to catch a variety of Southwest Florida favorites including Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout, Tarpon (seasonal), Sharks, Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, and more. Every trip is different, but you can expect steady action and a great time on the water.
What sets this trip apart is the focus on fun, family-friendly fishing and consistent inshore action. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler, you’ll get a trip tailored to you with plenty of opportunities to catch fish and make lasting memories.
