West Coast Fishing Charters
Captain Kirk SanCartier
Fishing the areas of Pine Island Sound, Matlacha, Sanibel, Cape Coral and Charlotte Harbor
Well folks this report is probably going to be hard to believe but for the week of October 1-7 West Coast Fishing Charters had some of the best fishing this area could possibly offer. On Sunday, my first client, Mr. Capenella and his wife were able to catch more than 15 Snook, 18 Red Fish and 10 Trout, which all took place on a 4 hour charter. These folks were fishing for the first time in our area and boy did they have a good time. They explained to me that this was the first time that they had even picked up a pole in almost 25 years.
On days 2-4 the fishing was as good, if not better. We continued our Southwest Florida slam, which consists of Snook, Red Fish, and Trout; the catch for these days was over 200. Yes, I said over 200, only keeping enough fish for dinner each night.
We were having a great time and it only got better, on Thursday I fished a group of folks from Wellbuilt Systems and our first whole wasn’t the greatest, only producing 7 small Snook, 2 small Trout and 1 Red Fish. I thought we should move because the water was just right for one of my favorite spots, and, as luck would have it they were there and I mean thick as flies. We anchored up and I threw some chum in the water and the Red Fish turned on like piranhas. A good majority of the Reds caught were actually too large to keep, the average sizes ranged from 29 to 36 inches. We sat in this one fishing spot for more than 4 hours, with an almost sure hook up with every cast. Most of the time the 4 people that I had with me were hooked up, they caught Red Fish until their arms hurt. The total number caught was, are you ready, over 70 Red Fish alone. I’m glad to say every fish was released in perfect shape. After taking a short break we then moved to a small wash out were they caught several Snook, most were small but a great fighting fish. The total number of fish caught exceeded 100 fish for that day. I thank those folks for wonderful day and the gratitude they showed.
The last day was October 6, I fished the Brown Citrus group and as soon as we stopped in the first hole the bite was on big time, in the 5 hours that we stayed in this one hole we caught over 80 Red Fish, most of the day all 4 people in the boat were hooked up
at the same time. After a well-deserved lunch we headed back to a Snook hole were we caught 20 Snook (only 1 keeper) and 7 Trout. Again by the end of the charters they had caught better than 100 fish. Another happy customer.
Knowing that all weeks are not like this one was, it was great to be able to share this with some of my best customers. This will also be a topic on my next TV show, so if anybody would like to try, please give us a call at 1-888-476-6656 or check out our web site at www.westcoastfishingcharters.com. See you on the water.
