You know what they say about “red sky in the morning sailors take warning”? I don’t think that relates to this beautiful sunrise!

It looks like somebody is on a roll!

On Friday October 3rd we were lucky enough to ride along with Capt Whitney Jones and Frank Lawrence to see what the waters of Sanibel and Captiva had to offer us. We got to the dock and headed out into the Gulf of Mexico to one the many fishing hot spots that Capt Whitney frequently takes his guests to. With the first cast Frank reeled in a decent sized spotted seatrout. The fishing only got better from there with all three of us able to bring in a handful of ladyfish, spotted seatrout and even the occasional unwanted catfish.

Capt Whitney Jones is available for half and full day charters. For more information contact Capt Whitney Jones: (239)-410-8665. Capt Whitney’s custom rod and reel setups are available at The Bait Box (239)-472-0618.

Spending the day at ‘Tween Waters Inn & Marina for the Crusher/Sheik Invitational and getting the story behind the team and how they came together made for an awesome day! Fishing, eating, drinking and having fun was what the day was about. The team was originally titled SHEIK but a few years ago Crusher, one of the members and also a former Sanibel local, unfortunately had gotten severely ill and the team came very close to losing him. After a complete 180 turn around they honored him by adding his name to the team title! The boys were very successful in the tournament and came in with the biggest snook! GOOD JOB TODAY BOY’S!! We love and miss you Sugar Ray!!

The plan for the day was to go out with local Fishing Captain Lamar Williams of “Let’s Go Fishing” Charters. As we arrived, all the good folks pointed up to the sky to see a wall of rain heading our way. Regardless, we had a great time just hanging out at Jensen’s Marina and Fishing Camp with the other Charter Captains.  Another Day In Paradise as far as everyone was concerned! For Fishing Charter Information call Capt. Lamar Williams @239-340-1506 or Jensen’s Marina @239-472-5800. Look for future weekly fishing charter pictures and daily tips from Capt. Williams on our tips page.
