Ready to go fishing on the beautiful Estero Bay?!

Snook, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Tarpon, Jack Crevalle, Tripletail, and more can be found in these waters, depending on conditions. On these trips, you can expect to fish using light tackle gear.

Any fish caught on these trips will be released.

Kids are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children’s life jackets will not be provided, so if your child is under 6 years old you will need to provide your own life jacket. Also remember to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

Your trip begins aboard a 20' Tower boat with room for 3 passengers. It comes with all the essentials and can run in under 6” of water, so you can fish creeks in the back country hours before other boats! Rods and reels are included.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time!

A few items to bring include sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid glass bottles. Smoking is allowed as well, so smoke em if you got em! Its about you! So feel free to enjoy yourself.
