Thursday, 5/9/13: Sanibel, Captiva & Fort Myers Fishing Report ~ Fort Myers, Sanibel & Captiva: Pompano everywhere!

On today’s second charter, we first headed up to Redfish Pass.

There we started to catch the usual Ladyfish, when all of a sudden we started to catch Pompano! They were jumping all around the boat and we must have caught at least 15 fish within 30 minutes!

Pompano are an extremely good eating fish, the only place you can find them around here is in the passes. However they are an extremely elusive fish, you can be catching them left and right one day, and on another you can’t catch a single one.

After we caught out limit of Pompano, we headed on over to the Sanibel oyster bar. There we caught some nice Redfish.

This is also the best time of year for Tarpon, so if you want to catch one let us know when you’re booking a charter, or when you meet me at the dock! Just let me know before we leave the docks so that I can go grab the right rods.

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,
