Fishing Trips

I live downtown fort myers in the high rises… Where would be a good spot to catch nice bait fish?
Thanks

Right now the Mid Point and Cape Bridges are holding bait.

Capt Ben, I just checked that Suffix Braid test line on their website and they come in 150 to 333 yard spool. Please tell us which one you are using and what size reel. ?

Is 150 yard spool enough or i need longer spool ? I am not sure if these fish run the same as giant carp.

The 150 should be enough.

Capt Ben

lol 40 and 50 foots at 14 28 xD

That’s it. I’m selling all my Indiana property and moving to Fort Myers…lol. See you there this winter Captain Ben. I’ll be the guy with a Chicago accent who really needs a tan.

I will be waiting with SunBlock.

I’ll be booking a trip once I get there. We’ll do a Chicago accent special: “Chew On Dis!” and the biggest fish of the day gets named Ditka.

am still new at this. i did my research and got a rod. gona go fishing for the first time near venice this weekend.

after you release the fish, do they still live on?

As long as you don’t harm them they do. Good Luck!

yea they will live. i have caught some fish that spit up there guts with a hook in his guts and they swallowed them back and swam off

Hi Capt Ben, In Uruguay the blacks drums are called Corvinas Negras.
My record is: black drum (26 kg, 1.25 metres).
Good Luck! Ben!.

today i had a good day i got a 3 and a half foot dog shark and so did my grandpa but his was smaller, it took a lot of energy and was hard but i was in disbelief i caught a shark haha

wow it would be cool if you went to a fresh water lake, and went after huge Muskies it would be awesome to see you go against some giant fresh water fish including sturgeon

I would like to one day.

God Speed,
Capt Ben

I’m not a fan of catch and release. Why don’t you take your efforts to a homeless shelter and feed people.? And have your fun.

Instead of catch and release. You can start a nonprofit charity. I’ve seen your catches. You could feed 50-100 people once a week. (Friday). And get city, state, gov. and private funding to support your overhead.

a question?
who armed de line.
Because I dont see the plumb line

I live in naples and i went there last week and caught a 30 pounder it was fun catching these things.

These fish are all over the shallows by Burntstore Marina usuall early AM, tons and tons of mullet and wh. bait on the beach for bait too. Docks at the marina can find nice snappers, sheeps and ladyfish…..

i fish by burnt store marina a few times a week and have never seen any

Almost everytime ive walk out in the flats in the early morning, just infront of the pink condos, near the mangroves there are all kinds of frenzy’s of fish splashing and jumping around. Ive seen the fins sticking up in huge numbers more than a couple times. I usually go out there and get bait, usually finger mullets and white bait and fish off the last dock at the very end of the marina. Can usually get a few nice snappers & baby snook and even cought a small grouper.

dude that is clearly a drum……redfish have a gold/copper color when u pull em out the water..plus the body too reds have a slimmer body style
