Deep Sea Fishing in Fort Myers
Deep Sea Fishing in Fort Myers
Known to many as a spot where you could land a “Backcountry Slam,” Fort Myers is an angler’s paradise. Alongside inshore fishing, you also have access to one of the world’s best fisheries – the Gulf of Mexico. Step aboard one of the numerous deep sea fishing charters in Fort Myers and the sky’s the limit when it comes to what you can catch.
Beyond the barrier islands lie reefs and, just 20 miles from shore, you can get your hands on Lane Snapper, Amberjack, and Cobia. Head out further and not only do these creatures get bigger, but they’re also joined by a whole host of other prized fish. We’re talking Gag, Red, Black, and Scamp Grouper, along with Kingfish and the elusive Red Snapper – when the season hits, that is.
Over 75 miles out, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and deepwater Groupers lie in store. Marlin, Sailfish, and even Swordfish and Tilefish are possible when the waters reach 600–1,000 feet. For this, you’ll need an overnight trip at the very least, while all other species require also spending upwards of 10 hours on the water.
Get ready to practice your bottom fishing skills and go after the fish that live along the ocean floor. You’ll also try trolling to land some of the topwater feeders. If you’re a little more adventurous, you can give fly fishing a chance. But beware, landing any of these beasts won’t be easy, so come prepared to test your skills and strength to the max!

Take some lightweight clothes that cover arms and legs if fishing deeper in the mangroves *especially in the late afternoon /evening as the noseeums ( sand fleas) might be hungry!

If you are fishing in the morning, especially in March, make sure to dress appropriately (pants, jacket, etc). We used a waterproof case for our phones so we could take videos and pics quickly and didn't have to worry about getting phone wet. And most importantly, Jack knows what he is doing so just relax and enjoy the fishing time!

Just be prepared for anything. No guarantee as to what or how much you will catch.

Bucket Mouth Fishing Charters
The Snook were a little tougher to find since they were just starting to move into the coves. Perfect time for Sea Trout though, they were really high quality fish and we caught one after another, 22-23 inchers were common. Next time I may wait until the Snook season opens in March and maybe the Red Fish will be moved in a little more by that time. But, I would do this trip over again in a heartbeat, weather was perfect and we found fish everywhere the dolphins were not!

Pick up is currently in Captiva, so the drive can be long from Fort Myers with the traffic. Overall, it was a wonderful time though!
