The Local Lineup

Let's talk about the stars of the show – the fish you'll be after on this trip. Bonita Springs is home to some real beauties, and here's what you can expect:

African Pompano: Don't let the name fool you – these bad boys are right at home in our waters. Known for their powerful runs and acrobatic leaps, African Pompano are a blast to catch. They tend to hang around structure and can put up one heck of a fight. While they're more common offshore, we sometimes get lucky and find them in deeper inshore areas. If you hook one, hold on tight!

Snook: The crowned jewel of Florida inshore fishing, snook are the crafty ambush predators that keep anglers coming back for more. These line-sided beauties love to hang out around mangrove roots and dock pilings. They're known for their explosive strikes and powerful runs that'll test your drag. The best part? They're catchable year-round, but the bite really heats up in the warmer months.

Black Drum: These bruisers are the gentle giants of the inshore world. Black drum can grow to massive sizes, and even the smaller ones put up a great fight. They love to root around on the bottom for crabs and shrimp, so we'll target them with natural baits. You'll feel those distinctive thumps when a drum starts nosing your bait – it's a feeling that never gets old.

Sheepshead: With their distinctive black and white stripes, sheepshead are often called the convict fish. Don't let their funny looks fool you – these guys are smart and can be tricky to hook. They have a knack for stealing bait, but when you do set the hook, you're in for a stubborn fight. They hang around structure and are particularly active in the cooler months.

Redfish: Ah, the redfish – also known as red drum, these copper-colored beauties are a staple of inshore fishing. They're famous for their bull-dogging fights and those distinctive spots on their tails. We find them tailing in the shallows or cruising the flats. There's nothing quite like watching a red track down your lure in gin-clear water. They're around all year, but fall is prime time for the big bulls.
