Where We Fish
Fishing Guide in Cape Coral
I have spent years navigating the canals and Gulf waters around Cape Coral, and I still get excited when a client hooks into a snook in one of those deep residential cuts.
On the Water
Fishing Cape Coral
Cape Coral sits on the western edge of the Caloosahatchee River system, and what makes this area special is the mix of deep canal fishing and quick access to the Gulf. The canal system here is massive, with hundreds of miles of waterfront property and deep water that holds fish year-round. When I guide clients through these waters, we are often working mangrove shorelines, seawalls, and dock pilings where snook and redfish stage up, especially during the cooler months. In the warmer season, we run out through the mouth of the river and work the nearshore reefs and grass flats for tarpon and mangrove snapper. The bite changes with the tide more than anywhere else I fish, and learning how to read that current is part of what makes a charter here productive.
