What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Captiva, Florida for the first time?

Come wiht an open mind, don't set your goals too high, otherwise you could dissapoint yourself on a slow day. We were having a good time catching baitfish, then got blown away when we went out to catch sharks!

When the water starts warming up in mid-February, our Captain says more species of fish are active.

It’s HOT. Helps if you have some kind of shade. Fishing in Captiva is great year round, but better in the cooler months!

Do your homework and research your charters. I would probably look for charters with the most reviews so you can make an educated choice on where you spend $400 plus

Heat can affect your catch .. best if you you are aware of the moon ? cycle best around full moon
