LIGHT-TACKLE BACKCOUNTRY FISHING
Meet Southwest Florida’s linesider.
Snook are a signature inshore species around Fort Myers. The local backcountry, grass flats, mangrove shorelines and canal systems provide varied habitat, while colder weather can move fish toward rivers and more protected water.
Capt. Andy fishes with live bait and artificial lures, including greenbacks, plugs, jigs, spoons and jerkbaits. The approach depends on the season and conditions.
A rewarding light-tackle challenge
Snook fishing rewards careful presentation and attention to the water around you. An instructional charter helps newer anglers learn while giving experienced anglers a chance to work the shorelines and backcountry with a local guide.
Plan around the season
Snook live in these waters year-round, but conditions and charter availability change. Capt. Andy focuses on tarpon during the dedicated tarpon season, so contact him before planning a snook-specific trip.
Discuss your target species, dates and experience level with the captain. Keeping fish depends on the regulations in effect for your trip.
