The fishing is also renowned for sharks in the summer, tailing redfish on the bayside flats and snook under and off the Blind Pass bridge. Because Turner Beach faces Westward, the sunsets are spectacular and a popular viewing point for residents and visitors alike.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12707\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12707\" style=\"width: 2711px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Snook-10-12-17-e1507893825728.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12707\" src=\"http:\/\/www.captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Snook-10-12-17-e1507893825728.jpg\" alt=\"Snook &amp; Smiles, Sanibel Fishing &amp; Captiva Fishing, Sanibel Island, Thursday, October 12, 2017.\" width=\"2711\" height=\"2691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Snook-10-12-17-e1507893825728.jpg 2711w, https:\/\/old.captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Snook-10-12-17-e1507893825728-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/old.captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Snook-10-12-17-e1507893825728-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/old.captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Snook-10-12-17-e1507893825728-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/old.captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Snook-10-12-17-e1507893825728-768x762.jpg 768w, https:\/\/old.captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Snook-10-12-17-e1507893825728-1024x1016.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2711px) 100vw, 2711px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12707\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Snook &amp; Smiles, Sanibel Fishing &amp; Captiva Fishing, Sanibel Island, Thursday, October 12, 2017.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Please like us on\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Captivafishingnet\">Facebook!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fair winds and following seas,<\/p>\n<p>Captain Joey Burnsed ~\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fortmyers-fishing.net\/captain-joeys-booking-calendar\/\">please click calendar<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0at the upper left\u00a0or call\u00a0<strong>239-472-8658<\/strong>\u00a0to book a Sanibel &amp; Captiva Islands, Boca Grande or Fort Myers fishing guide trip or shelling charter.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14957\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14957\" style=\"width: 2429px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Snook-7-16-18-1-e1531864786843.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14957\" src=\"http:\/\/captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Snook-7-16-18-1-e1531864786843.jpg\" alt=\"Snook, Catch &amp; Release, Sanibel Island Fishing Charters &amp; Captiva Island Fishing Charters, Sanibel Island, Monday, July 16, 2018.\" width=\"2429\" height=\"3346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Snook-7-16-18-1-e1531864786843.jpg 2429w, https:\/\/old.captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Snook-7-16-18-1-e1531864786843-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/old.captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Snook-7-16-18-1-e1531864786843-768x1058.jpg 768w, https:\/\/old.captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Snook-7-16-18-1-e1531864786843-743x1024.jpg 743w, https:\/\/old.captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Snook-7-16-18-1-e1531864786843-690x950.jpg 690w, https:\/\/old.captivafishing.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Snook-7-16-18-1-e1531864786843-980x1350.jpg 980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2429px) 100vw, 2429px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14957\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Snook, Catch &amp; Release, Sanibel Island Fishing Charters &amp; Captiva Island Fishing Charters, Sanibel Island, Monday, July 16, 2018.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sanibel Island Fishing Charters, October 11, 2018: Snook, Catch &amp; Release!
