Target Species at 2 Fish Charters in Fort Myers FL
Catch Snook, Redfish, Tarpon & More in Fort Myers Waters
At 2 Fish Charters in Fort Myers FL, we specialize in targeting some of the most sought-after inshore and nearshore game fish in Southwest Florida. Our most popular species include Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, and Mangrove Snapper—all abundant in the back bays, mangrove edges, and flats surrounding Fort Myers. Whether you're casting with light tackle or fly fishing for a thrill, these species offer exciting action and a rewarding experience for anglers of all skill levels.
Fishing is productive all year, but each season brings unique opportunities. Spring and summer are peak times for Tarpon fishing in Fort Myers, especially in the early mornings. Redfish and Snook fire up in the fall, cruising the flats and pushing up against mangroves. Winter is ideal for Snapper, Sheepshead, and other cold-tolerant species in the creeks and channels. Our captain adjusts every trip to take advantage of these seasonal changes—book your Fort Myers fishing charter now to time your trip with the best bite.
Whether you're a seasoned angler targeting trophies or a beginner chasing your first fish, we provide the gear, guidance, and know-how to put you on the fish. Each trip is private and customizable, with a strong focus on family-friendly fishing. Ready to hook your target species?
