Bonita Springs Fishing
Photos from Fish Buster Charters
The Bonita Springs area isn’t a top tourist destination in Florida, but there is plenty to do here and the fishing can be excellent here throughout the year. The grass flats, mangrove shorelines, oyster bars and channels of Bonita Springs and the Estero Bay area provide lots of places to catch snook, redfish, shark, trout, snapper, grouper, jack crevalle, black drum, flounder, sheepshead, pompano, triggerfish, grouper, permit and more.
For those of you that aren’t familiar with Estero Bay, it is a 7 mile long shallow water playground for anglers and it is located between Fort Myers and Naples. Mangrove trees are by far the most dominant vegetation in the bay, although, there are extensive seagrass beds that can be found within the shallow bays and sounds. The climate in the region is subtropical and the majority of rainfall occurs from June to September. Fishing is good year-round for a variety of species. Many anglers fish the bay for the redfish and they can be found year-round. If you are looking to target schooling redfish, the end of summer through fall is typically the best time to find them.
