Boating In Cape Coral
is very happy to announce their newest service … world class fishing
charters. Captain Bob Brandt is now on board and available to show you
how it’s done here in Southwest Florida. His years of experience fishing the
inshore and near shore waters of Florida’s western coast will give you the best
chance of hooking up with some of the area’s most sought after gamefish like
Snook, Sea Trout, Redfish, Tripletail, Tarpon, Shark, Spanish Mackerel, King
Mackerel, Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack and many other local species. Captain
Bob’s vast knowledge of these targets and how they react to existing weather /
sea conditions help to provide his guests with the success they expect from an
experienced charter fishing service.

Fishing Charter Service
Expectations
Inshore:
Inshore
fishing means “pounding the mangroves” and working natural structure like an
oyster bed or a shallow flat. For this type fishing Captain Bob will run a boat
with skinny water capabilities. Often times a low winter tide will drive fish
into areas of extremely shallow water so a boat that drafts as little as 10
inches gives the angler more range thus creating more of an advantage.
The main
targets for inshore fishing are Redfish, Sea Trout and Snook. Captain Bob will
supply the live bait necessary (shrimp / greenbacks / shiners) or you choose to
throw an artificial bait if that is your preference. Tackle is also supplied
unless you prefer to use your own rig(s). Captain Bob uses and recommends
spinning gear spooled with 30 pound test, high visibility braided line tied to
30 pound test fluorocarbon leader tied to a 1/0 or 2/0 high quality circle hook.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Near Shore /
Offshore:
In order to
avoid confusion, let’s first establish the understanding that Boating In
Cape Coral does not target blue water offshore species like Marlin,
Sailfish, Tuna, Wahoo and other deep water species. Sure, these fish
are available in the Gulf but from the Cape Coral area you would need to run
approximately 100 miles in order to find them. At this time we are not equipped
to offer offshore services. Although if you have the boat, the
gear and the time to chase these offshore sportsman’s most glamorous fish,
Captain Bob also has experience with this type of deck skill and can be hired to
help you locate and hook up. Being the proud holder of a 50 ton Masters
Captains license he can also expertly run your boat so you can focus on
keeping a trophy at the end of your line.
So with that
said, the near shore fishing service offered by Boating In Cape Coral
will put you on King Mackerel (a seasonal species), Grouper, Snapper, Amberjack
and other fish who inhabit the natural and artificial structure as far out as 30
miles and as deep as 100 feet. A sturdy 23 foot center console boat pushed
by 225 reliable horses will be used for near shore fishing. The center
console is equipped with state of the art Navigation Equipment (GPS) and high
tech Depth/Fish sounding equipment. We can supply the fishing gear or you may
use your own. Heavier rigs in the 20 pound and up
class are suggested for pulling fish from drops near the bottom or into
structure. Live bait like pinfish and shiners vary as available but there’s
always something willing to bite on more readily available bait such as frozen
squid or menhaden chunks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As an added
bonus, guests of a fishing charter by Boating In Cape Coral can
also be treated to details regarding the natural wonders of our salty backyard.
Manatees, Dolphin, bald eagles, osprey, sharks, rays, turtles and so many
other indigenous life forms inhabit the area. So please feel free to take in
the awesome sights and take advantage of your captain’s knowledge for this
amazing piece of geography.
