The fishing is also renowned for sharks in the summer, tailing redfish on the bayside flats and snook under and off the Blind Pass bridge. Because Turner Beach faces Westward, the sunsets are spectacular and a popular viewing point for residents and visitors alike.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7736\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7736\" style=\"width: 2448px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Flounder-3-19-15-e1494556336931.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7736\" src=\"https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Flounder-3-19-15-e1494556336931.webp\" alt=\"Captiva Fishing, Flounder, 3-20-15, Sanibel Fishing &amp; Captiva Fishing &amp; Fort Myers Fishing Charters &amp; Guide Service.\" width=\"2448\" height=\"2313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Flounder-3-19-15-e1494556336931.webp 1920w, https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Flounder-3-19-15-e1494556336931-300x283.webp 300w, https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Flounder-3-19-15-e1494556336931-768x726.webp 768w, https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Flounder-3-19-15-e1494556336931-1024x968.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2448px) 100vw, 2448px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7736\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Captiva Fishing, Flounder, 3-20-15, Sanibel Fishing &amp; Captiva Fishing &amp; Fort Myers Fishing Charters &amp; Guide Service.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Really appreciate if you would like us on\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Captivafishingnet\">Facebook<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Fair winds and following seas,<\/p>\n<p>Captain Joey Burnsed ~\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fortmyers-fishing.net\/captain-joeys-booking-calendar\/\">please click calendar<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0at the upper right or call\u00a0<strong>239-472-8658<\/strong>\u00a0to book a Sanibel &amp; Captiva Islands, Boca Grande or Fort Myers fishing guide trip or shelling charter.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4559\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4559\" style=\"width: 1536px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/photo-70-copy-5-e1494556649703.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4559\" src=\"https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/photo-70-copy-5-e1494556649703.webp\" alt=\"Huge Flounder caught in Blind Pass, Sanibel &amp; Captiva Islands &amp; Fort Myers Charters &amp; Fishing Guide Service.\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/photo-70-copy-5-e1494556649703.webp 1536w, https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/photo-70-copy-5-e1494556649703-250x300.webp 250w, https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/photo-70-copy-5-e1494556649703-768x922.webp 768w, https:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/photo-70-copy-5-e1494556649703-853x1024.webp 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4559\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Huge Flounder caught in Blind Pass, Sanibel &amp; Captiva Islands &amp; Fort Myers Charters &amp; Fishing Guide Service.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sanibel Island Fishing &amp; Captiva Island Fishing, Flounder Sanibel Island Fishing Charters, March 30, 2018.
