Real Estate Luxury Living From Captiva to Marco Island
There was a time in all of our lives when we dreamed of catching the big catch. I recall fondly of the many fishing trips in which we would go to my grandparents lake in Poland that they owned and I would watch my grandfather real in the most incredible fish a little boy could ever imagine. Fast forward to many many years later and here we are living the dream in one of the most dreamiest fishing places in the world.
Southwest Florida is considered the fishing capital of the world. Snapper, groupfish, bonita, and king fish, are all part of the chartering possibilities when out on the boat in Sanibel waters and Captiva. Bonita Bay is also home to incredible deep water fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. A lot more goes into deep sea fishing than the average person could imagine. For starters, these ventures are super expensive and require skill and know how. Seeing luxury oceanfront and beach homes from the water certainly makes it all the more worthwhile.
The majority of the captains that will take you out in the waters are very experienced and will keep you consistently catching the perfect limits of fish allowed. Several of these daily mini expeditions even guarantee dolphin sightings approximately 99% of the time. For those who are seeking a more private experience looking into leaving out of St. James or even Pine Island.
There are typically 3 types of tours, deep sea - off shore, inshore and inland, and combinations as well. During the colder months of the year, expect to catch huge Florida Sheepshead that are delicious to eat and super fun to fight as you reel them in. Some tips for fishing include being able to manage 3 rods are one time. This will certainly increase the chance of catching more fish. During winds however, less fishermen can do this as to not tangle lines.
