Sea n Red Charters

🦈 There are sharks 60 feet from the beach in Fort Myers right now.

Not a scare tactic. Just the reality of summer in Southwest Florida — and for anglers, it's the best news of the year.

Right now in July, blacktip sharks are spinning through the air just behind the first sandbar. Bull sharks are pushing up the Caloosahatchee before sunrise. Bonnetheads are tailing across the grass flats off Sanibel. And spinner sharks are running with the baitfish schools nearshore.

We wrote a complete guide covering:
🐟 8 species you'll find in Fort Myers waters
📍 Exact hotspots from Boca Grande Pass to Pine Island Sound
⚖️ Florida regs you must know before you go (some species are 100% prohibited)
🎣 Tackle, bait, and leader setups that actually work
🏖️ Safety info for swimmers AND anglers

Whether you want to CATCH one or just know what's in the water — this guide is for you.

Plenty of snapper and snooklits with some bonus action in the scorching heat and tough tide.

Mid-summer in Fort Myers and the fish are absolutely eating.

We run our summer trips early — pre-dawn departures to catch the best bite window — and we're wrapped up long before the afternoon heat sets in. It's one of the most enjoyable times of year to be on the water, and our guests keep coming back to prove it.

What's biting right now in July:

🎯 Redfish — Running strong from Sanibel to Boca Grande. Early morning is prime.
🦈 Sharks — Nearshore action is at peak. One of the best times of year for this.
🐟 Snook — Taking shape and entering prime time right now along Fort Myers structure.
🎣 Cobia — Still holding on structure nearshore. Don't sleep on these.

Private, all-inclusive, and 100% guided by Captain Erik. A few July dates are still open — don't wait.

Fun last day week 4!! Kids camp is going strong.

🎣 When Family Time Meets Fish Time — Clint & The Boys Made It Count!
Clint and his family were visiting SWFL and wanted one thing — a real day on the water, memories to bring back home, and Redfish for everyone. ✅✅✅
We shoved off from Punta Rassa at 8:00 AM and it didn't take long before dad, big brother, and little brother had all landed their own beautiful Reds. 🔴🎣 Three generations of the same family, three Redfish, three grins that said everything that needs to be said.
There's a reason our full day charters are one of the most popular options for visiting families like Clint's — when you're traveling to Southwest Florida from out of town, you don't want to feel rushed. You want time to actually FISH. Time to let the kids get comfortable. Time for the tide to change. Time to try multiple spots. Time for that one story you'll be telling for years afterward. ⏰❤️
An 8-hour full day charter gives Captain Erik the flexibility to put you on fish across inshore flats, mangrove backcountry, AND nearshore reefs — all on the same trip. It's how days like this one happen. 🌊
To Clint and the family — thanks for trusting Sea N Red with your vacation memory. That's not something we take lightly. 🙏
Whether you're a local looking for a serious day on the water or a family visiting SWFL and wanting to make it count — a full day charter with Sea N Red is the move.

Fun times in the bay

Cape Coral has over 400 miles of navigable canals. That's more miles of waterway than any other city in the world. And most visiting anglers completely ignore it.

Captain Erik doesn't.

The canal system in Cape Coral is one of the most productive inshore fishing environments in all of Southwest Florida. It connects to Pine Island Sound, the Caloosahatchee River, and some of the best redfish and snook habitat in the state.

What you can catch there:
🐟 Snook — hanging near dock lights, bridge pilings, and mangrove edges
🐠 Redfish — tailing on the flats adjacent to the canal mouths
🐡 Peacock Bass — in some of the more inland residential canals
🎣 Sea Trout — on the grass patches near canal openings

If you want to fish somewhere that doesn't show up in every tourist charter ad, the Cape Coral canals are worth exploring.

Lost Count of Redfish with Billy & Al — Another !
You know it's a good day on the water when the cooler is full, the smiles are wider than the fish, and somewhere around fish number twelve you just stop counting. 😄🔴🔴
Got to spend the day with Billy and Al — two great guys, endless laughs, and Redfish that just would NOT quit. The kind of trip where the action keeps building until you're losing count and gaining stories.
But here's what really hit different about this trip — Billy and Al came to us through another guide's referral. ❤️
That's something we never take for granted. When other captains and guides trust Sea N Red enough to send their own clients our way, that's the highest compliment in this business. It says they trust us with people they care about. It says they know Captain Erik is going to deliver. It says we're doing things the right way out here.
To the guides who keep referring clients to us — thank you. That trust means everything.
And to Billy and Al — what a day, gentlemen. Looking forward to the next one. 🙌
This is what fishing charters in Fort Myers are supposed to look like — quality fish, quality people, and the kind of day that ends with everyone wanting to do it all over again.
