Party Boats in SW FL

[tarheelkid]

I will be heading down to Ft. Myers next week to watch my sister play in the girls softball super regionals. I will have a free day on Saturday and was wandering if anybody could recommend a head boat for this area. I also could drive up to an hour away to hop on a full day fishing trip if that would help increase my odds of finding a decent boat.

It seems to be really hit and miss right now on the bottom critters. Snook are still holding on the beaches of Sanibel and Captiva. I recommend Blind Pass (on Captiva near Tween Waters Inn) 2 hours each side of the high tide. Shiny lures (Rat-L-Trap in chrome/blue) and swimbaits cast parallel to shore right in the trough.

Hint: You can usually walk the shoreline with an eye toward the surfline and see the schools of baitfish and the occasional flash of a feeding snook. Water temp has been 88-90 degrees.
