Sanibel Fishing Charters, Fort Myers Fishing Charters, Sanibel Island Fishing Charters, Shelling

We have had a fantastic year and want to thank our customers for their continued charter business!  We see many (or most) of our charters on a yearly basis if not sooner.  I think that's what sets us apart, we build relationships.  The families that visit Sanibel, Captiva, Fort Myers Beach and even Cape Coral can't miss out on a great day on the water with Capt. Bill year after year. 
  You're really missing out on the best that this area has to offer if you don't book a charter at least one day of your vacation.
 The great outdoors and especially the islands of our coast and the Gulf of Mexico is what brought settlers here in the first place.
  The abundance of sea life, world class fishing, birdwatching, the pristine beaches with miles of shells are just a few things to see on the water. 

Did you know this is the birthplace of sport fishing?  The great Silver King, aka Tarpon was the very first fish considered a sport fish and was caught just a few miles from Port Sanibel Marina in Tarpon Bay near Sanibel Island, Florida.  This mean strictly caught for the fight and trophy.

Today we do catch and release only but any fish can be mounted or "recreated" as a trophy to hang on your wall without harm to the fish!  The taxidermist that mount these fish are true artist.  Endless Summer Charters is a representative of Gray Taxidermy and can have your fish mounted by simply getting photos and measurements.

 
 Not only does your mount act as a source of conversation and a true trophy but a work of art to treasure from the birth place of sport fishing!

Sanibel and Captiva fishing Charters

This weeks pressure from local fishing tournaments have made me fish places that we haven't fish in a while to get away from the crowds. Between tournament anglers and Labor Day weekend warriors it was hard to find a quiet flat or mangrove stretch of island  anywhere. We managed find some great fishing right where most were zooming by. With the southeast winds and long out going tides in Pine Island sound, we fished grass flats and hit broken bottom or potholes as we call them and
had a wonderful trout and redfish bite with several fish  over the slot size in 30 to 36 inch category for redfish and several trout 20 to 25 inches. Snook season opened this weekend but this Captain is going to stand his ground and practice catch and release on that particular species. Even though the snooks comeback has been seen in other areas in great numbers, SW Florida was one of the hardest hit and I still believe the snook needs more time. For now it will be catch and release leaving us with only a great photo and a chance to catch more in the future. 

Tight Lines!
Capt. Bill Hammond
