Captiva,
Florida Fishing Trip 11/1/03
Captain
Joe and First Mate, Rich, are based at the Castaways Marina on Captiva
Island, located at the western end of Sanibel Island, FL. Click
here for map. We left the marina at 11:15 AM on a 4 hour charter
to Redfish pass located at the western most end of Captiva Island. Click
here for map.Within the first 5 minutes of fishing, Rich caught
the first redfish 7.5 lbs, which Gail and Rich cooked and ate for dinner
that night.The next fish was a 13.5 lb. redfish (threw back). Then Rich
caught a larger redfish, which was shortly eaten by a 7-9 foot lemon
shark. We then caught fish to use as shark bait to intentionally fish
for sharks, but the sharks were no longer hungry.This was a great fishing
trip, and we highly recommend Captain Joe. He and First Mate, Rich,
did a nice job finding fish, and keeping baited lines in the water to
maximize fishing time. Click
