The Hunt for Sea Trout
As you set out on the calm Gulf waters Sanibel to Naples, stop and drift fish over seagrass beds and estuaries, like Estero bay by Fort Myers Beach, where sea trout love to lurk. These elusive creatures are known for their sharp strikes and acrobatic leaps, providing an adrenaline-pumping experience for anglers. Artificial lures like soft plastics or live bait such as shrimp are excellent choices to entice sea trout into biting. One of my all time favorite rig set ups is to use a popping cork to float the bait about a ft off the bottom. Knowing water depth, tide, and wind direction is key to set up a successful drift. Let Capt Mike be your fishing guide and he can consider all those details. You just pay attention to your line, a cold beverage and think about whether you want trout tacos or trout sandwiches. 😎
Fort Myers Beach, nestled on Florida’s Gulf Coast, is a haven for anglers seeking a variety of saltwater species.
