Fishing Fort Myers, Captiva, and Sanibel Island gives you access to endless options depending on whether you’d like to fish inshore or nearshore species. On top of the world-class fishing, you will be in some of the most beautiful saltwater grass flats, undeveloped mangrove-lined shorelines with tons of creeks, oyster bars, and rivers.

Some of the species you can catch around here include Mangrove Snapper, Snook, Goliath Grouper, Redfish, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, Tarpon, and more if conditions are right. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

You’re welcome to bring home the fish you catch, assuming they meet regulations. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Keep in mind that some species and catch-and-release only, and your captain will help you follow regulations when you fish.

Your boat for the day is a 24’ Skeeter sx240 with room for 6 passengers. It comes with a fighting chair and all the essentials. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

It’s always wise to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
