What anglers said about fishing in Captiva Island

Make sure to get with a local guide or captain, we spent hours fishing onshore with minimal results. Things changed dramatically when we got out on the water.

Yes. You have many different options as far as water goes. You can go off shore or stay in the sound in backwater. Plus it is absolutely beautiful.

Cool or colder weather not for most beginners. But Captain Gregg will put you on the Bite. He will instruct and guide you. You will see a lot of action. This type of fishing good for all ages. If you can do cold water fishing.

It's not the best time of the year for fishing in the area because it is winter. We know that, but it's when we come to Florida. We caught more fish with Capt Scott this year than we have with other Capt's in several years. We would definitely recommend him in February or any other month of the year.

It’s HOT. Helps if you have some kind of shade. Fishing in Captiva is great year round, but better in the cooler months!

Come wiht an open mind, don't set your goals too high, otherwise you could dissapoint yourself on a slow day. We were having a good time catching baitfish, then got blown away when we went out to catch sharks!

Sanibel is a great place to fish. Of course, like anywhere, it's important to learn what's biting that month and the best way to catch your targeted species. When in Rome...
