The waters around Fort Myers, Florida, teem with all sorts of gamefish: snook, tarpon, redfish, jacks, Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, seatrout, and ladyfish.

Captain Blake Matherly's Flats Fish'r Charters guides fly fishers and light-tackle anglers in pursuit of these gamefish. Tailing redfish along the flats of Pine Island Sound, snook hiding under the mangroves around Sanibel, tarpon making their way along the shore of Captiva and Cayo Costa, giant seatrout in the potholes of North Captiva Island, and frenzied jacks and mackerel in the Gulf of Mexico provide year-round fishing action.

Southwest Florida's fine inshore fishery is complemented in Fort Myers by world-class shelling and extravagant bird life amid some of the most picturesque areas of the Gulf Coast.

Make plans to join Captain Blake for any or all of these Florida specialties on your next trip to the Fort Myers area.
