Seasonal Guide to Fishing


No matter what time of year you visit The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel, the fishing is phenomenal. Temperate waters welcome large gaming fish in the spring like our famous tarpon and grouper, and year-round catches of succulent snapper and redfish are common.

Whether you're fishing from the shoreline, in the flats, offshore or on a pier, a prize catch is imminent. In the warm summer months, try fishing near piers and jetties in the early morning, before the water heats up. Later in the day, stick to channels and passes, especially during incoming tides.

Winter fishing will move you inshore. This is high season for flats fishing, especially for snook and big trout. The amiable seasons of spring and autumn allow you to make good use of Lee County's hundreds of miles of waterways, where you'll reel in cobia, Spanish mackerel, amberjack and much more.
