Fort Myers, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report

Gulf Of Mexico

The Best Cobia bite we have seen in years, on nearly every trip. The largest was estimated near 60 lbs. Back to the rod store after a 500 lb. Goliath Grouper snapped rod. Huge Hammerhead shark also hooked but we could not stop it. Great size Spanish Mackerel are hitting all over and are super fun on small tackle. Caught 4 keeper Permit on a half day this week. Gag Grouper are starting to show up, a keeper here and there. Hooked up on a Sailfish which gave us 4 jumps before spitting the hook.
