Southwest Florida Fishing Report - Bonita Springs to Captiva

Fort Myers - Saltwater Fishing Report
Now here this! The fishing in SW FL is enfuego. So many Cubans are landing on our beach hence my Spanish
"on fire" description. How many are invading our shores? How about this. Would you believe I caught and released 2 at Pace's Reef dragging Yo-Zuri Hydro Magnum Lures? We did see what looked like a raft and low and behold we saw a boat pluck em' out. Anyway, let's get to my report which is an A+
My last three charters have scored the Florida Inner Grand Slam. None however had the impact of my trip on April 5, 2007. Huge Snook. Huge Redfish. Huge Trout. PLUS a beautiful blond who could solve all the world problems via her congenial manner. How customers treat
Fishing Guides goes a long way to the overall enjoyment of 4HRS spent in close proximity. Cindy Vorst and Husband (who should never win the Lottery as he already has) plus their buddy "Big Al" first scored some righteous size Spanish and Bluefish during our search for Ladyfish. Once the ladyfish bite got started, the trip was a guaranteed success. "He who has ladyfish, has the key to unlimited Redfish." When we arrive at my favoite spot, another guide who has seen me there was in my anchor footprint. Exact location. We passes glances and I anxiously awaited the first word that never came. His two customers were pulling out fish laying down as if they were in easy chairs. After chumming up with the ladyfish, out went a chunk on smellie lady on a leadhead. BOOM! A MAN SIZE REDFISH. BOOM! KILLER SNOOK to 32"! "The Lottery Winner" was as good of a fisherman as his taste in Babes. The moment I saw "Mr Lucky" fight his big Redfish I knew his fishing skills quite refined. (I started asking myself "Who is the guy?") "Mr Lucky" let the drag perform and never seemed to oppose it. His whole act reminded me of me less the good looking blond. Onward! Next it was Snook time. WHAT A MOOSE! Same gig. "Mr Lucky" is now turning into Roland Martin. Rod bending, knee jerking, and just like they do on Fishin' TV. When we moved around the island, Lucky throws a big handed pick shrimp into a pothole. Almost as soon as the El Shrimp hits El Agua all hell breaks loose with a whopping 5LB trout thrashing about. We move again and Big Al pulls in his first keeper Redfish.
With gas at 3.27 at the Marinas and running as far as I did, this trip was certainly not about the money. It was far bigger lesson. Maybe someday men will become more like women when it comes to knowing how to treat your fellow human beings. My 4HR trip turned into a 5:30 trip. There was no extra charge as it was my pleasure. It left me to imagine a world with Cindy Vorst as President of the US, Angelina Jolie as Prime Minister of Britain, Holly Berry as Queen of Iraq, and Scarlett Johanssen as Prime Minister of Iran. And of course, Rosie O'Donald as Queen of Guam. YEAH BABY,YEAH!
Tarpon trip on Saturday. Stay tuned. As you know, Tarpon possess me. My Christmas begins at 5AM on April 7, 2007. "GiddyUp"
PS: GiddyUp Fishing Charters "Where all good looking babes fish" (and unfortunately their husbands)
