Shark’n

When people think of sharks, they picture “JAWS”. When WE picture sharks, we picture you with a trophy of a lifetime! Sharks are one of the few species that have not changed much from the prehistoric days. We give everyone the opportunity to go to battle against these “top of the food chain” predators! You can target the Great Hammerhead shark (a fish that weighs over 1,000 pounds), the man-eating Bull shark, the Lemon shark, and the acrobatic Black Tip Shark.

Any of these sharks will give you a thrill of a lifetime! We fish in the shallow, pristine waters of Pine Island Sound near Ft. Myers, Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, and Boca Grande Pass.

This excursion is the ultimate adrenaline rush of the fishing world. We fish from inshore to 20 miles offshore. Either by rod or if you really want to test your game you can go one on one with just a rope and your hands. You pick it and we stick it…and YOU pull!!!

These fish are between 100-800 pounds!

Best Months: Year-round!!

Tarpon

The only thing more exciting than stalking fish on the flats is stalking fish that are 7 plus feet in length and weighing up to 225 lbs. Here on the flats these fish can be found in less than 3 feet of water.

Tarpon will start showing up anywhere from mid-March to April, depending on the cold fronts. This is the time when thousands of fish make their way from the south as they come up to the spawning grounds, taking place mid-May and June, both on new and full moons and during high tides. At these times, these fish can be caught by fly or the primary bait (pass crabs) that flush out on out-going tide with the tarpon.

Best Months: March- October

Inshore Rates Apply

Fish’n the Flats

The backcountry of SW Florida is world-renowned for is sight fishing. Here, anglers will combine their hunting and fishing skills as there is nothing better than presenting artificial bait, whether it’s a fly, spoon, jig, or plastic.
