Sanibel Saltwater Adventures

Fort Myres, Florida has some diverse opportunities when it comes to fishing locations. You can try your luck on the Caloosahatchee River, or cruise Sanibel Island and Pine Island. If you want to experience the fishing action of the area, Sanibel Saltwater Adventures is there for you! The highly experienced Captain Daniel Muench will take you under his wing, and he’ll show you all the tricks and tips to get the right catch.

Explore the area on board what is considered to be one of the finest flats boats on the market today. The 18’ Maverick can accommodate 2 guests, so it’s perfect for couples or fishing with your best bud. This boat is great in rough conditions and the shallowest of creeks! 

This charter specializes in fishing with inshore and nearshore areas of Sanibel Island, along with flats and backcountry locations throughout Pine Island and Matlacha areas.

You just need to show up, as the trip covers your Florida fishing license, and all the necessary fishing gear and lures. Sometimes live bait will be used when available. Cold bottled water will be available for you and is included. If you would like to take some fresh fish home with you, Captain Dan will be happy to clean them for you!

Captain Dan is available and is set up for instant booking!  That means if the day is available on his calendar – select it, book it, and you’re locked in!

I have always loved to fish since I was very young. I was fishing any pond or creek I could find. My grandfather started an RV park on Sanibel in the late '60s which is still there and operating today. We visited here all my life while growing up and I finally moved here permanently in 1991. Even though I have been fishing in the Sanibel area for over 30 years, I still get excited when I catch a nice fish! Snook, Redfish, Trout, and Triple Tail are my favorites.
