The water temps have reached the low 60s and the big sheepshead have moved into the backwaters. Sheepshead tend to gravitate to docks, rock jetties, oyster bars and mangroves. They can be caught on live shrimp or fiddler crabs. We have been using shrimp a 2/0 Mustad circle hook with a split shot and 20lb fluorocarbon leader with great success. The bite has been great so take advantage of the beautiful Florida weather and lets get out on the water! We have plenty of availability and can even try to squeeze you in for a last minute trip if necessary. Don’t hesitate, book now!

Tight Lines!

Scott from Minnesota with a nice sheepshead caught on a fort myers fishing charter aboard Chum Crazy Charters.

Carolyn with her personal best sheepshead fishing aboard Chum Crazy Charters in Fort Myers.

With the waters cooled down, the Sheepshead are starting to move in. Live shrimp is the bait of choice for most anglers as they are readily available in most tackle shops. There have also been some small redfish being caught in the backbay areas of Estero Bay, Sanibel Island, and Matlacha. The Mangrove Snapper bite has been productive in the backbay as well. Despite all of the publicity about the Red Tide in Fort Myers, many fish survived and are ready to eat whatever you put in front of them. Season is here in Southwest Florida and now is the time to help our struggling economy by visiting this beautiful area. Dont hesitate to take a vacation to Sanibel Island or Fort Myers Beach and get out on the water. As of today, 12/19/2018 FWC's Red Tide report states that there is no Red Tide present in Lee and Collier Counties.

Tight Lines,
