Excellent Inshore Fishing Action in Cape Coral, FL

The inshore fishing scene in Cape Coral is thriving this season with consistent catches and active fish throughout the area. Anglers targeting species like snook, redfish, and trout are having success, especially along the mangroves, oyster bars, and shallow flats. Snook Fishing: The snook bite has been excellent, with fish ranging from 24-30 inches. Early morning and late afternoon have been the most productive times, especially around the mangrove points and deeper holes. Live bait like shrimp and mullet are working well, as are artificial lures such as soft plastics and topwater plugs. Snook are actively feeding on smaller baitfish, making these ideal times to catch them. Redfish: Redfish are also biting well in the inshore waters, especially around the flats and grass beds. Slot-sized reds (18-27 inches) are plentiful, and some larger fish have been reported. Use live bait, such as pinfish or shrimp, as well as cut bait for the best results. The incoming tide has been the most productive, as redfish push into the shallows to hunt for food. Trout: Speckled trout are biting in the deeper channels and grassy flats, with most fish being in the 15-20 inch range. Soft plastic jigs and jerkbaits, along with live shrimp, are catching plenty of fish. The best fishing has been on sunny days when the trout are in the deeper waters, but they can be found in shallow areas as well during low light conditions. Other Species: We are also seeing some action from mangrove snapper and pompano, with some anglers reporting catches near the bridges and channel markers. As water temperatures rise, the bite for these species is expected to continue strengthening. Tips for Success: Water clarity has been good, but be sure to adjust your bait choice depending on the light conditions. As we move into warmer weather, targeting deeper spots during midday and moving to shallow flats in the morning and evening will increase your chances of success. Overall, inshore fishing in Cape Coral remains fantastic with a variety of species to target. Whether you're a novice or seasoned angler, now is a great time to get out on the water and enjoy the action!

Captain Todd proved his experience as a master captain. I felt extremely safe. Captain Todd knows when and where the fish are biting, and was very patient with us inexperienced want to be fisherman! An OUTSTANDING personality! I left feeling I've always know him, and do believe have made a friend for life. Thank you Captain Todd for a wonderful day!

May 31, 2025

Such a great day with Captain Todd! My 16 year old son is an experienced fisher and was so happy - he caught so many fish and even a shark! My daughter who is 11 and has never fished had such a great time and learned so much. Todd went above and beyond making sure we had fresh shrimp for bait, also baiting and casting for those who needed the help. We caught so many fish! Highly recommend!
