Fishing in Estero Bay

Capt. Sean Davis of Fish Warrior Charters said that the fishing this past week was spectacular.  The tides were good and the bait was plentiful all along Ft. Myers beach. His charters were catching snook along the beaches and around New Pass using free lined white bait. Along with the snook were good sized trout to 3 pounds.  Capt. Sean said that there were also lots of snook around the oyster bars on the falling tides.  In fact, there were more there then he can remember seeing in a long time.  Once the tide started falling he would start fishing the mangroves for reds using cut bait. The big story from last week was the 70 pound spotted eagle ray that jumped into his boat in New Pass  while he and a crew were filming an upcoming fishing TV show.  No one was hurt and Sean was able to get the ray out of the boat and watch it swim away.  All of this was caught on film!

Summer fishing seems to have arrived.  The winds are finally starting to let down and the bait and fish are cooperating.  Daytime temperatures are hitting near 90 degrees and the Gulf water is reading in the low 80’s.  Tarpon are schooling up in the near Gulf waters and inside of Pine Island Sound and some big fish are being spotted.  Snook season just ended but the catch and release action is exploding and the redfish bite has picked up.

Capt. Sean Davis of Fish Warrior Charters said that it was great to get back on the water and run some trips after his bout with appendicitis.  He reports that the bait has been spot on and wishes to thank all those who have helped him catch it while he had light lifting orders from the doctors. Capt. Sean said that the snook are starting to more readily take to the white bait over the large threadfins.  He’s finding good numbers of fish along the beaches around Lovers Key and mixed in with the snook are some very large trout to 6 pounds.  The red fish are starting to show up in fishable numbers around mangrove islands surrounded by grass flats.  Capt. Sean recommends that you cut the tail off of live threads to go after the reds.  This will slow the bait down and also put scent in the water that the redfish can’t resist.  It also helps your bait stay in the area longer to get the strike.
