If you're going to cast a line in Fort Myers, look no further than Bay West Fishing. Your guide for the day is Captain Brett, allowing you to benefit from their angling experience. He offers charters in the Gulf of America, inshore, nearshore, and offshore up to 25 miles. He is federally permitted for trips past 9 miles in the Gulf!
The fish in these waters include Red Grouper, Sheepshead, Mangrove Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Yellowtail Snapper, Goliath Grouper, Lane Snapper, Cobia, Speckled Trout, Snook, Gag Grouper, Ladyfish, and more, depending on the season. You can expect to do some spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
You'll be casting lines from a 21' Sea Pro center console with space for 3 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Brett will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Don't leave home without bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Bay West Fishing.

Half Day Trip – Inshore/Nearshore
Caught quite a bit of fish captain was very entertaining. Not a control freak over equipment and bait, very chill. We caught many different species. Really enjoyed the trip, worked several different areas and was very accommodating, caught Permit, Reds, Drum, Snapper, Jacks. Departed from a cool harbor not the manicured marina with surrounded by hi rise condos where you feel like you are fishing in Chicago.
