May is the transition from broad spring inshore fishing to full big-fish season in Fort Myers, Sanibel, and Captiva. Tarpon becomes the primary headline, snook and redfish feed harder around mangroves and passes, trout remains the highest-volume inshore option, and nearshore structure adds mackerel, tripletail, sharks, snapper, and permit when wind allows. This guide solves trip selection, tide selection, and tackle selection for anglers who want May patterns defined before they leave the dock.
April fishing in Fort Myers is when Southwest Florida’s spring bite goes from “starting to build” to “fully online.” Water temperatures stabilize, bait becomes more consistent across the flats and around structure, and the inshore game starts feeling less like a winter puzzle and more like a spring pattern you can repeat all day. If you want variety, steady action, and real trophy potential, April is one of the best months to book.
March fishing in Fort Myers is when Southwest Florida starts shifting from winter’s tight, predictable patterns into spring’s faster, bait driven action. Water temperatures trend upward, the days get longer, and fish that spent much of January and February holding in deeper, more stable zones begin spreading onto flats, mangrove edges, and nearshore structure more consistently.
