Local Tips & Conditions
Fort Myers Beach inshore waters fish well year-round, with each season offering different opportunities. Spring and fall provide the most comfortable weather and active fish, while summer brings tarpon and consistent action despite afternoon thunderstorms. Winter offers cooler temperatures and less crowded waters, though fish may be deeper during cold fronts. Tides play a crucial role in fishing success, with moving water generally producing better results than slack periods.
The grass flats around Sanibel and Captiva islands hold fish throughout the tidal cycle, while mangrove shorelines fish best on higher tides when gamefish move shallow to feed. Captain Kevin monitors weather and water conditions daily to ensure safe, productive trips. Light tackle and spinning gear work best in these shallow waters, allowing for precise presentations around structure.

Most charters depart early morning to take advantage of prime feeding times and comfortable temperatures.
