    If you want to catch fish, this is the Guy!

    Halvdagstur Førstehjelpsarbeidere (AM) • 2 voksne

    We arrived and Captain Jim was ready. Not only was the boat a great fishing boat, we really enjoyed one another's company. Not only does Captain Jim know where the fish are, it seems he can think like a fish. "If I were a snook, where would I be?" In one case, one of us hooked a fish that was totally too big for the fisherman and the fish won. We WILL totally do this again, and again, and again, you get the idea. If you haven't tried Captain Jim, I would suggest you book NOW before everybody knows what I know. Darren

    My son and I had an awesome fishing trip! Captain Jim was super knowledgeable and put us right on the fish. We caught a ton, including a massive Jack Crevalle and a Black Drum, which were the highlight of the trip. Highly recommended!

    Captain Jim worked his tail off to put us on the fish. He has a great personality for the job. We had a ball and will be booking him again. I would highly recommend him for a great fishing experience!!!

    Halvdagstur – Backwater-fiske (AM) • 2 voksne

    Went out to the 10,000 islands with Captain Jim on a Father-Daughter fishing trip. Learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Right away got us on the fish and improving our fishing techniques. Jim is extremely knowledgeable In the area, can’t wait to book with him again to go after Monster Snook! Afterwards took the fish to the Snook Inn and had some amazing fish tacos (4).

    Captain Jim made sure we both caught fish and taught tip and tricks for the future. It was an amazing time. And he made sure we stayed safe as the weather changed.

Hva er det som biter med Captain Jim Fortman – Ten Thousand Islands i Naples

Vanntemperaturen synker betraktelig, noe som gjør at fisket er bedre hele dagen enn det var i tidligere måneder. Fisken begynner å bevege seg inn i de bakre buktene og passasjene. Redfish-fisket er glødende i oktober.

Red October!

Oct 28, 2018 • Napoli
October has been phenomenal in the Ten Thousand Islands, Naples, FL. The fish have been plentiful and the dinners have been even better. Snook, Redfish, Black Drum, Tarpon, Tripletail, Sea Trout, and Shark have been moving in to the area in quite the numbers. Clients have had a blast tackling these fish.

No Red Tide in The Ten Thousand Islands

Aug 3, 2018 • Napoli
July was a phenomenal month for Snook, Trout, Black Drum, and even Flounder. We have been releasing many slot sized Snook and above. Big Black Drum have been released and invited to the table. The Trout bite is still on fire, and we’ve caught a couple of quality Flounder. Other species are still hanging around. Juvenile Tarpon still litter the canals and river mouths, as well as juvenile Red Fish. We expect conditions to remain the same throughout the month of August. There is no Red Tide or Green Algae in our water. Everything is healthy for the table and quality of life. Tight Lines, Captain Jim Fortman

The summer bite is hot in the Ten Thousand Islands. It has not been affected by by the Red Tide or Algae Bloom to our north. Fishing has been great! Many fish coming over the rails, including 35 inch Black Drum, 35 inch Snook, 18 inch Flounder, Shark, Redfish, large Jacks, and all the Trout you can take home.

First Two Weeks of July

Jul 16, 2017 • Napoli
I was able to get back out on the water for some backcountry fishing. Snook and Redfish are still in abundance on the points and deep shorelines. Trout are hanging out on the outside, but not as much on the inside. My favorite species to catch on light tackle showed back up...The Black Drum is a great dinner fare and one of my favorites to eat. They can be found in the same areas as the Snook and Redfish. Tarpon and Shark are still making appearances in the backwater bays and flats. I know of one lucky tarpon that I stalked for at least an hour, on a mudflat. He was interested, but not hungry. We watched him gorge himself on the fry.
