Goliaths!
Goliaths!
Jun 5, 2026 Fort Myers
I had a last-minute charter request; the guests had a charter cancel and wanted to get out. Their preference was offshore fishing. With east winds at 15-20mph, the conditions were suboptimal. But, the Free-Spirit is a capable vessel with a 10ft beam and a deep vee hull, it was doable. An East wind makes nearshore water leeward and calmer close in. We went about 5 miles out and it was a bit bumpy. Solid action on Atlantic Spadefish, not the best eating, but they fight hard and are often hungry. Guests have reported they eat just fine. Keeper grey snapper, and several breakoffs on large fish likely Goliath Grouper or Shark. We boated 2 Goliaths and lost maybe 6 more. Lots of action. Then we went inshore to calmer waters to find snook and snapper.

May is usually a calm sea month, but we had out share of windy conditions. The shallow grouper bite has been good with several keeper Reds and nice Gags plus Mangrove and Lane Snapper on live bottom. Artificial reefs produced gags, snapper and Spadefish.

We have had a long period of strong wind 20mph with gusts to 30mph. Despite the winds good inshore fishing for Seatrout and Mackerel with several keepers. A few Trout 24" to 29" were caught and released. I expect the winds to laydown and will be heading offshore this week.

April Report - Sharks, Stone Crab, Cobia
Apr 2, 2026 Fort Myers
April is often a great month with mild winds; however, we had plenty of windy/challenging conditions and also beautiful days. As a guest keep the conditions in mind when leaving a review, captains do not control the weather, meteorology must be a fake degree due to the wild inaccuracy of forecasts. This was the last month for stone crabs, and we did well despite being late in the season. The inshore bite was off and on depending on conditions, some days over 20mph winds. Offshore the bite was solid with good numbers of grouper and other reef fish. Upon request I will shark fish, often at same reef fishing location for grouper, but with different gear. Plenty of big sharks were caught and released. A first for me was a client hooking a large sea turtle, which was promptly released. The tarpon are here and will stick around through early summer. May is usually a great month, book yourself a trip on the Free-Spirit Gag season is OPEN!

A recent fishing charter stated they had limited time, only 4 hours, and wanted a specific target: Triple Tail. I said, "sure we can do that, I love Triple Tail". Unfortunately, the weather man was wrong as they tend to be 77.77% of the time. Finding Triple tail is best done on calm days with good sunlight, we had a cloudy day with bumpy seas; after an hour of effort and just 1 fish spotted, I decided on Plan-B. Which was to anchor on a shallow wreck in 30ft, the water was surprisingly clear, I could see the wreck. For you spear-fishers and freedivers, book a trip while the conditions last. Multiple sheepshead, snapper and break-offs of larger fish kept the anglers busy for the rest of the trip.

Stone Crab!
Stone Crab!
Mar 10, 2026 Fort Myers
We have had a very cool winter with lots of heavy winds which seemed to help the crabbing with some days having 19 crabs in one trap. The water has warmed up to 76 degrees, and the water has gotten clearer. However, the stone crabs are still on the move, and we did fine for this trip. Book your trip before the season ends for this ecological fishery of excellent eating crabs. Kids love to see and touch the critters found in the traps, educational and fun.
