Use the form below to request a fishing charter.Inshore vs Offshore
Inshore Fishing in Estero Bay puts you on Red Fish, Snook and Tarpon in shallow waters and
along the Mangroves. Inshore fishing offers calmer water and can be easier for those with a
tighter schedule.
Offshore fishing takes you out into the Gulf of Mexico to target Grouper, Snapper, Cobia and Shark in deeper waters. If you like to be out where you and the fish are the only ones in eyesight, this is for you!
Night Fishing
If you want a truly unique experience, night time fishing is the way to go. Leaving the dock
around 6pm, we beat the heat, afternoon showers, and daytime boat traffic; this trip can be
even more enjoyable than the daytime fishing. Trips last about four hours and take you into
the Back Bay or oceanic areas, and cater to individual parties. One might think that fishing
at night might not be as eventful as during the day. On the contrary, there are a variety of
fish species that are more active or feed specifically during the night time hours, called
nocturnal. Sharks, snapper, snook, and a variety of other fish species are still biting all
night long. Don’t let the sunset stop your fun on the water.
