About Your Trip

Set sail for a memorable trip in the Backbay and Inshore waters of Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach, and Bonita Springs. Captain Drew offers conventional inshore and fly fishing.

Inshore fishing seems to be one of Captain Drews's most popular options and consists of fishing the mangroves and oyster bars with live baitfish. In the shallow backwaters, you'll have the opportunity to catch Redfish, Snook, Trout, Sharks, Snapper, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, Sheepshead, and many more. The possibilities are endless.

Captain Drew provides all the gear you'll need for a successful day out on the water including rods, reels, tackle, bait, fishing licenses, and ice. All he recommends you bring are some extra snacks and drinks, and he'll take care of the rest!
