Get to know Sanibel like never before when you book a trip through SOFLO Shark Outfitter.

Here you'll have access to nearshore waters, including some spots that only a local can show you.

Ricky specializes in heavy tackle fishing, which is what you'll be doing on the day of your trip. You can also do a bit of spinning, and maybe more your guide wants to show you. Ricky will provide rods and reels and live bait.

Blacktip Shark, Bonnethead Shark, Blue Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Lemon Shark, Nurse Shark, Tiger Shark, Bull Shark, and more could be biting if you cast your line at the right time of year.

Fish within regulations are yours to take home. Have a cooler ready in the car! Groups of up to 15 are welcome on these excursions. You'll make your way to the fishing grounds on foot, so dress accordingly and bring only as much as you can carry.

Don't hesitate to send Ricky a message below with any questions you have, including where to meet on the day of your trip.

Everyone in your group should buy a local fishing license ahead of time. You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply. Plan to dress in layers and appropriate footwear (if you aren't sure what that means, just ask). It's never a bad idea to bring sunblock, bottled water, and sunglasses, rain or shine.

Ricky will have drinks for you, and if you wish to bring your own simply ask. This is a kid-friendly experience, so feel free to bring 'em along and pack any extras they need. Remember to ask if child-sized life vests are available; otherwise, you'll have to bring your own.
