Thursday, 3/21/13: Sanibel, Captiva & Fort Myers Fishing Report ~ Fort Myers, Sanibel & Captiva: Saw the first few Tarpon of the season!

On todays second charter, we first went to Redfish Pass!

We threw lures and we caught a ton of Ladyfish along with a few Sea Trout and one Pompano!

Then I decided to head over to  the Buck Key oyster bar!

There we landed on a nice school of Redfish, but the real news is that I saw the first few Tarpon of the season!

Tarpon are huge silver fish that can range from 20 pound to 200 pounds! They give a truly amazing fight, often jumping into the air!

Now even though I saw a few fish, it will be at least another month before we start fishing for tarpon and have a decent chance of catching them.

However, once the fish really start coming around from early May to early June, we will start fishing for them at Boca Grande Pass; and that is a once in a life time fishing experience, so you want to book you charters way in advance!

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,
