    Awesome Experience!

    Half day AM • 6 adults • 1 child

    Our family of 6 had a great time. We went out for a half-day and it was the perfect amount of time. The marina/dock area is beautiful (super clean bathrooms!) and Josh’s boat was pristine. Josh was fantastic - he called the night before to see if there were any fish in particular we were hoping to catch and tailored the trip to our liking. We’ll absolutely be back! Thanks Josh!

    Reported catch:
    Snook

    Captain Josh made this trip truly an exceptional one, for all five of us. From the different spots he took us, to helping us catch fish, seeing the animals along the way, and making my boys first time fishing a fun time! Heck, can’t forget my husband reeling in a Tarpon! Thanks, Captain Josh! We WILL be back!!

What's biting with Screaming Reels Fishing Charters in Fort Myers

The main focus for Fort Myers fishing in October is Redfish. Big ones. They start to spawn in inlets and river mouths at this time of year. Sight fishing on the flats is exceptional, thanks to very low tides. Cobia starts coming south again.
