Pompano caught in Redfish Pass, Sanibel & Captiva Islands & Fort Myers Charters & Fishing Guide Service.

Redfish caught off the Sanibel oyster bar, Sanibel & Captiva Islands & Fort Myers Charters & Fishing Guide Service.

On today’s second charter, we first headed up to Redfish Pass.

There we started to catch the usual Ladyfish, when all of a sudden we started to catch Pompano! They were jumping all around the boat and we must have caught at least 15 fish within 30 minutes!

Pompano are an extremely good eating fish, the only place you can find them around here is in the passes. However they are an extremely elusive fish, you can be catching them left and right one day, and on another you can’t catch a single one.

After we caught out limit of Pompano, we headed on over to the Sanibel oyster bar. There we caught some nice Redfish.

This is also the best time of year for Tarpon, so if you want to catch one let us know when you’re booking a charter, or when you meet me at the dock! Just let me know before we leave the docks so that I can go grab the right rods.

On today’s second charter we went up to fosters to go Tarpon fishing!

We hooked three fish. The video above is of the one we landed, he was about 130 pounds. Then we lost one, and for the last fish, a huge Bull Shark got him. It sometimes happens and there is nothing you can do about it.

Stingray caught off the Sanibel oyster bar, Sanibel & Captiva Islands & Fort Myers Charters & Fishing Guide Service.

On today’s first charter, we headed to the Sanibel oyster bar!

There we caught some nice Redfish, which is the target species when we fish the oyster bars, but today we hooked a surprise, a 30 pound Stingray.

We fought him for about ten minutes before we finally managed to bring him to the boat. After we looked at him for a while, I cut the line letting him go no worse for wear.

Snook caught in Blind Pass, Sanibel & Captiva Islands & Fort Myers Charters & Fishing Guide Service.

Big Jack caught in Blind Pass, Sanibel & Captiva Islands & Fort Myers Charters & Fishing Guide Service.

On today’s second charter we first headed back to Blind Pass!

Jacks, pound for pound, are probably one of if not the best fighting fish in the area! Even the small ones can give a fight that you would only think a larger fish could muster, they are truly amazing.

After that we went to Redfish Pass. There we caught a few nice Bluefish along with the usual Ladyfish.

Hank, Tarpon Fishing, April 25, Sanibel & Captiva Islands & Fort Myers Charters & Fishing Guide Service.

Sanibel & Captiva Islands & Fort Myers Charters & Fishing Guide Service.

Well, we all gave it our best shot … but it was tough fishing!  We were skunked on our boat.

Hank blames it on bad karma from Lamar!  We shouldn’t have let him on the boat!  :-)

The only good news is that Jimmy’s boat also got shut out!

40+ boats and only one tarpon was caught!  The tarpon were smarter and tougher than the fishing guides and they showed us who was boss!
