Cape Coral's waters support a diverse inshore fishery with snook being the primary target species. These fish relate to structure like docks, mangroves, and oyster bars where they ambush baitfish during moving tides. Redfish patrol the flats and grass beds, while spotted seatrout hold in deeper pockets and channels. The area also produces tarpon during warmer months, creating exciting opportunities for light tackle fishing.
Water temperatures and tidal movements drive fish activity, with early morning and late afternoon typically offering the best bite. Captain Joseph reads these conditions to position the boat in productive areas and select the right baits and lures for current conditions.
