Fishing Guide in 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.
