Every year a few other local fishing guides and I compete in the PTTS, the Professional Tarpon Tournament Series. There are five weeks of fishing, and each week five prizes to win. The tournament takes place in Boca Grande Pass the Tarpon capital of the world, and boy is it a lot of fun!

Last week we won fifth place with a 125 pound fish. This week however we hooked a fish that we guessed weighed about 160 pounds and would have gotten us first place. We fought him for about 30 minutes, but when he got close to the boat he broke the line. You can’t always catch them, especially when fishing for Tarpon.

Please call 239-472-8658 or email captjoefred@gmail to book a Sanibel & Captiva Islands or Fort Myers fishing guide trip – or we can head up to North Captiva or Cayo Costa Islands for a shelling charter!

We’re located at Castaways Marina, Santiva, Sanibel Island, just before the Blind Pass bridge to Captiva Island.

Whether you’re a longtime customer who has fished with us for many years or a first-time customer, expert fisherman or just a family with young children out to catch fish and have fun, you are going to enjoy being out in the boat with Hank and me!  We greatly appreciate your friendship and business!!!

If you had a good time fishing with Hank and me on a Sanibel & Captiva fishing charter, please post an “excellent” review on Google Places Reviews.  Huge thanks for doing this!

Fair winds and following seas,
