Where We Fish
Fishing Guide in Fort Myers
Fishing Fort Myers means working the estuary where the Caloosahatchee meets the Gulf, and every trip out here feels like a new puzzle to solve.
On the Water
Fishing Fort Myers
The Fort Myers area gives me as a guide some of the most varied fishing within an hour of my home base. The river itself is a productive estuary, with brackish water that shifts with the seasons and creates ideal conditions for spotted seatrout, flounder, and redfish. We also have excellent access to the Gulf, where the nearshore wrecks and reefs hold grouper and snapper when the water is warm enough. What I love about running a charter here is that we can adapt to conditions on the fly. If the river is running high from summer rains, we target the back bays and grass flats. If a cold front drops in during winter, the deep holes in the river hold snook and allow us to still put clients on fish. The city of Fort Myers also means convenient boat ramps and easy access for visitors staying in the area.
