Inshore & Backcountry Action fishing report coverpicture

Estero Bay - Lee, FL Fishing Report on 23rd Apr, 2025

Anglers fishing the inshore and backcountry waters of Fort Myers have plenty to smile about this week. Warmer spring temps have kicked the bite into gear, especially in the early morning and late afternoon hours. Redfish are cruising the mangroves and oyster beds, hitting live shrimp, cut bait, and soft plastics. Look for them pushing wakes in shallow water on a moving tide. Spotted Seatrout have been showing up in good numbers over grass flats, especially in 2–4 feet of water. Topwater lures early in the day and popping cork rigs during midday hours are getting solid strikes. In the deeper back channels and around creek mouths, anglers are hooking into Sheepshead and Mangrove Snapper on fiddler crabs and shrimp. Snook activity is picking up, especially on warmer days. They're holding tight to structure and responding well to live pilchards and twitch baits. Those venturing into the quieter stretches of the backcountry are reporting good action on juvenile Tarpon, particularly in creeks and small bays with a little depth and some current. Smaller swimbaits and live bait are both working when presented with a quiet approach. Overall, it’s a great time to fish Fort Myers inshore and backcountry waters. Tides are moving, bait is plentiful, and the fish are active. Whether you're casting along the mangroves or drifting the flats, now’s a great window to get out there and enjoy everything the area has to offer.
