What anglers said about fishing in Bonita Springs

Avoid a cold snap if possible. If it's cold aim for the afternoon verses the morning. We spent more time in the backwaters due to rougher waters and high winds. Fishing was better on the gulf if you can handle the waters. A lot of dolphins scared off our fish but they were fun to watch.

Catching fish is not guaranteed. Most captains do the very best to make it happen. Its all about the effort. This trip we were lucky we got 2!!!

Listen to your captain, especially once you have a fish on with keeping tension and guiding your fish in (to the net)

I reserve 5 star for those nearly once in a lifetime events. 4 is great and that what this trip was. We had a rough outlook, a pre-trip injury with one of my boys, the other being on the younger side for a charter trip and Capt. Jon made sure we were taken care of and were on fish. If you are looking for a trip out of Bonita you aren’t going wrong here.

Patience is key, saltwater fish are certainly tighter-lipped than a lot of freshwater species. If you know where to go and what bait works (shrimp are great for snapper, catfish, and trout), you will have a busy day on the water!

Fun. This was a very sunny day and warm which the kids were not used to (from Ohio). We were actively catching fish, saw manatee and dolphins which was fun for everyone except when the dolphin stole our fish ?

Great weather but it gets extremely hot out, which is expected for mid summer in Florida. The water was nice and flat and not rough which makes it easier to fish too.

I'm not an expert, but I think Fort Myers would have something to offer year round.
