Background
Operating a 21' Cobia Bay boat, Capt. Austin ensures a comfortable fishing experience in the waters of Cape Coral, Florida. Southern Slots Charter Co. has you covered if you wish to try bottom fishing, spinning, trolling, or other techniques. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
Techniques
Fishing inshore spinning reels, specifically sight fishing big snook and redfish is my favorite. You get to see the fish, cast to it, fight him, makes the catch just a little sweeter
