Cape Coral Fishing

Cape Coral Fishing - The fishing in Florida is some of the best fishing in the world!

We have everything from deep sea fishing to freshwater canals, and everything in between, so rent a charter or bring your own boat.

Fishing is particularly good in our part of Southwest Florida, which has plenty of freshwater and saltwater fishing options.

For lakes, and fishing fresh water canals Cape Coral has bass and panfish. There are largemouth bass, bream, bluegill and black crappie in the Caloosahatchee River.

For saltwater fishing, try back-water and shallow-water or flats fishing along miles and miles of shoreline in bays, estuaries, and tidal creeks.

For deep sea fishing Cape Coral has grouper, snapper, kingfish, cobia, tuna, amberjack, Spanish mackerel, shark, barracuda, tarpon, mahi, wahoo, and giant red fish.

Cape Coral fishing Each year thousands of anglers come to Florida to catch a grand slam, one of each of Florida's most sought-after gamefish: snook, redfish, spotted sea trout, and tarpon.

If you want to charter a fishing guide, I highly recommend Captain Gary of Marine Enterprises.

Go over to Cape Coral Fishing Charters to find out more about him and make a reservation.

He's terrific and offers flats, in shore, near shore, and tarpon fishing, he also will do sightseeing, shelling, lunch, and custom tours.

Although fishing is great year round, you may want to ask Gary about which months are best to fish particular fish.

In general, the warmer months are better because fish become somewhat dormant in colder waters, but there are definite seasons for certain fish.

We did the flats fishing with him and caught ladyfish, sea trout, Spanish mackerel, and I even caught a puffer fish.

Gary works out of Tarpon Point Marina at Marina Village Resort and also at Venture Out over at Cape Harbour.

Venture Out offers inshore/offshore and backwater fishing, eco tours, custom charters, water taxi services; sunset, lunch/dinner, and sight-seeing excursions.

When you go fishing, bringing sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a camera, snacks, and beverages are a must.

You may also want to bring light rain gear and shoes that can get wet. Coolers are on board.

Another idea is to fish from an airboat. You can get into shallow areas that a regular boat can't get into for some really terrific fishing.

You don't even have to go all the ways to the Everglades, just go to Archer's Airboat Tours Florida over in Matlacha.

Airboat fishing

A less expensive option for fishing is to go on a head boat, or party boat. This is great for inexperienced anglers.

Head boats typically charge $20-$40 for a half-day, and $50 and over for a full day for 10-100 people on one excursion. The fees include bait, license, and equipment rental.

Some head boats take reservations, some are first come first serve.
Either way, it makes to sense get there early so that you can get a prime spot.

Be aware that there is a problem with fishing lines getting tangled on these trips, so try to get a spot from the stern.

Bring cash for tips for the crew, bungee cords for your gear, and a towel for slimy hands.

Head boats are in Ft Myers.

While fishing, please follow the Code of Ethics:

  • Support conservation efforts.
  • Practice effective catch-and-release of fish that are unwanted or prohibited to retain.
  • Don’t pollute; Recycle and dispose of trash.
  • Practice safe angling and boating, including hook awareness and use of personal flotation devices (PFDs).
  • Learn and obey fishing and boating rules and regulations, and purchase the appropriate licenses.
  • Respect other anglers’ and boaters’ rights.
  • Respect property owners’ rights and do not trespass.
  • Share fishing knowledge and skills with others.
  • Don’t release live bait into waters or spread exotic plants and fish.
  • Promote ethical sport fishing and encourage others to reconnect on the water.

Cape Coral Florida fishing charters I'd like to give a you couple of links. The first one lists all of the Cape Coral fishing locations. You may need to get a fishing license.

This link sends you to where you can get an online fishing license.
