Member since January 2021 Fort Myers, United States
Background
Island Time Adventures is Veteran run and owned. I've always been an avid fisherman. I have been fishing the Ft Myers area since childhood. Full time here for the last 15 years and have enjoyed the challenge of inshore fishing using lite tackle. There is nothing like the excitement of someone catching their first quality saltwater fish with that screaming drag. Having 4 children and 6 grandkids, I have lots of experience in fishing with beginners and expert anglers alike. Visualize fishing with your grandpa.
Techniques
Live bait both shrimp and pilchards or white bait Lure both plastic and plugs
