Highlights of 3/4 Day Inshore

This charter takes advantage of Fort Myers' diverse inshore structure, from mangrove shorelines to grass flats where snook and redfish hunt baitfish. The 6-hour format allows time to work different techniques including casting around structure and presenting live bait in prime feeding areas. Southwest Florida's waters offer consistent action through all seasons, and the backcountry around Captiva provides excellent sight fishing opportunities when conditions align.

Watch for dolphins and manatees as you work the flats, and enjoy the scenic beauty of Southwest Florida's pristine waters. The trip includes everything needed for a successful day on the water, from quality tackle to local knowledge that puts you on fish.

Local Species Insights: Snook

Snook thrive in Fort Myers' inshore waters where mangrove structure meets grass flats, creating ideal ambush points for these aggressive predators. These fish patrol shorelines and structure during moving tides, feeding on pilchards, pinfish, and shrimp that get swept through the backcountry. December brings cooler water temperatures that concentrate snook around deeper channels and warmer pockets near residential canals. The key to consistent snook fishing lies in understanding their seasonal movements and presenting baits where they expect to find food.
