Sailfish
For those seeking the thrill of sailfish, Bonita Springs provides a convenient departure point to access the productive waters of the Gulf Stream. While not a guaranteed catch, sailfish can be targeted during the winter months, particularly from November to April. The key is to troll dead bait or live bait offshore, focusing on areas with strong currents and temperature breaks. A valuable local tip is to keep an eye out for frigate birds, as they often indicate the presence of baitfish, which in turn attract sailfish. Chartering a local boat with an experienced captain is highly recommended, as they will have the knowledge and equipment necessary to target these elusive fish. Sailfish in this region are known for their acrobatic displays, providing an unforgettable angling experience. Remember to practice responsible catch and release to ensure the sustainability of this incredible fishery.
