Just repeating the red tide update from yesterday, since we have had a lot of inquiries.  This photo gives you a sense of what red tide can look like on the water …

Red tide hasn’t been much of an issue for us on the north end of Sanibel and Captiva.  We have mostly been able to steer clear of it.

Red tide seems to be present near the south end of Sanibel, roughly from the lighthouse to Bowman’s Beach and running offshore up to five miles.  It appears to be killing mostly mullet and catfish, although we did see two oversized redfish floating in the last several days.  All in all, is not a big issue at this time, but we need to keep an eye on it, avoid it and hope it stays to the south of us.

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,
