Join Fish On Adventure charters for an unforgettable day of fishing the emerald waters of Sanibel Island. Whether you’re a competitive angler looking to land your first “Backcountry Slam,” or someone who just wants to get out on the water and relax while enjoying some light fishing, Captain Michael Werner’s got you covered!

Sanibel Island is conveniently situated among some of Fort Myers’ most productive fisheries. With Pine Island Sound to the north, San Carlos Bay to the east, and the open Gulf to the west, your options are as endless as the horizon.

Capt. Michael’s boat is exactly the vessel you want when it comes to practicality and versatility. From fishing in shallow inlets to deeper nearshore waters, his 25’ bay boat can cover a wide range of distance while keeping you safe and dry. She comes outfitted with state-of-the-art navigational equipment and a wireless trolling motor, giving you the ultimate advantage over your prey.

You’ll explore tucked-away inlets and coves to fish for Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Seatrout, and Jack Crevalle. You’ll also have the chance to head out further onto nearshore waters to target Kingfish, Cobia, Grouper, Snapper, and even Shark species. Capt. Michael is an expert at trolling, bottom fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning, so you can switch up your technique if need be, in order to target different species.

Capt. Michael will make sure you’re equipped with top-of-the-line rods and reels. He’s got your fishing license covered as well, and will also offer to clean and fillet your catch for you.

Whether you’re looking to book a hardcore fishing trip or just a relaxing cruise with some light fishing, Fish On Adventure charters will accommodate you. Discover the untouched beauty of Sanibel Island with a local guide and expert who knows all the best spots along the coast. Get ready to relax, crack open a cold one, and come out for a fun day of fishing with Capt. Michael!
