FISHING SEASONS IN FORT MYERS
July To September
Cobia
Cobias are usually mistaken for sharks at first glance. However, this specie is far smaller and easier to catch than the mighty shark, making them ideal for novice anglers. You can capture cobias in Florida’s shallow and deep waters. Although cobia is available all year round in Fort Myers, it is best to catch them during April and then again during September and October.
