Captiva Island is known as the little sister to Sanibel Island, but there is nothing little about Captiva Island’s fishing! Captiva is home to some of the world’s finest backcountry fishing guides and inshore fishing for tarpon, snook, redfish, snapper, speckled trout, mackerel, grouper, black drum, shark, and more.
Captiva Island is located along the Gulf Coast just north of Sanibel Island along Pine Island Sound, and just south Boca Grande Pass-world famous for its legendary tarpon fishing. The tarpon fishing charters in this area are second to none. During the peak of the season-from late spring through summer- catching a giant tarpon is more common than not. Tarpon are thrilling fish to catch, leaping and running and giving anglers a fight to remember. These flashing silver giants- reaching more than 200 pounds-are the biggest draws for Captiva Island fishing. But the fishing is great for all the local sport fish species, with southwest Florida’s “big three”-redfish, snook, and speckled trout-making great year-round sport fishing targets.
Captiva Island has some of the world’s best shelling beaches as well with people from all over the world coming to Captiva to treasure hunt on its pristine, shell-covered beaches. The waters of Captiva Island boast some of the most fertile grass flats in Florida and are home to a great number of bait fish and sport fish, as well as many other marine wildlife species. Dolphin, sea otter, sea turtles, and manatee call this island home and wildlife sighting off Captiva are a real thrill. In addition to the marine life, Captiva is home to a number of rare and endangered birds including bald eagles, spoonbills, egrets, herons, wood stork, owls, and woodpeckers. A fishing adventure on Captiva can bring so much more than just the thrills and excitement of its world-class fishing.
Explore Captiva Island’s awesome fishing, shelling, beaches and wildlife with a Catch Me If You Can fishing charter today and see why exploring Captiva Island by boat is the best way to experience the best of Captiva.

Spring Is Almost Here
The weather is great down here in the 70′s & 80′s and the fishing is great!
Trout and Pompano are on the grass flats, Redfish and sheepshead are in the mangroves. Book now for winter break charters are filling up fast!
On Jan. 1, 2011, a six-month ban on the recreational harvest of gag in Gulf of Mexico federal waters off Florida went into effect.
Gulf state waters – out to nine nautical miles – remain open to recreational gag fishing until the traditional closure in February and March.
“It’s a real shame they’re closing gag,” said Charlie Sobczak of Sanibel, who regularly fishes for gag in federal waters. “All the anglers around here say gag fishing has been fabulous. This is the best fishing I’ve experienced in 26 years of offshore fishing, and suddenly there are no gag? They’re just everywhere.”
For offshore fishing guide and Fort Myers native Capt. Chris Rush, the closure will be a financial burden.
“What it’s going to do to my business is shut it down,” he said. “We fish for gag grouper. That’s our target species. We’re catching our limit every single charter offshore. “To me, the population is as strong as it’s ever been. But that’s just from a guy who fishes and dives every day, not somebody sitting at a computer in Tallahassee.”
