Cobia caught inshore of Captiva , Sanibel & Captiva Islands & Fort Myers Charters & Fishing Guide Service.

Taking the day off to spend time with the family.

Around noon my friend and fellow captain Josh, texted me this photo of a Cobia that he caught inshore of Captiva!

Cobia are both a great eating fish, and a great fighting fish. They usually live far offshore, so catching this one inshore is a rare event.

#Captiva: Friday, 5/17/13: Sanibel, Captiva & Fort Myers Fishing Report ~ Fort Myers, Sanibel & Captiva: Tarpon jumping

Here are some great videos from yesterdays charter of Tarpon jumping right at the boat.

We caught two fish and jumped seven more yesterday. The biggest of the two we caught was about 120 pounds.

It is good that the Tarpon have started to bite again, so come on down, book a charter and catch yourself a big one. Just remember to tell us that you want to go Tarpon fishing before we leave the dock, that way I can grab the right gear.

On today’s charter, we headed up to Fosters to try for Tarpon.

Unfortunately, the water is still a mess from yesterday and we couldn’t get the Tarpon to bite.

However, we did catch a bunch of little Sharks!

Hopefully the weather will allow the water to settle, so that we may resume to catch Tarpon.

Its a shame that this weather came through now, which should be the best Tarpon fishing of the year, but that’s why its called fishing not catching.
