Fishing Reports

Returning to SW FL on 3/29. Avail through 4/20

It is my understanding things have been pretty windy. My schedule is filling up fast. I'll only be running charters up until 4/20 Email:  captgiddyup@netzero.com   Website: www.CaptGiddyUp.net  ...

SW FL is all stirred up Capt. John GiddyUp-Bunch

After 2 straight days of 25-30MPH wind, SW FL waters must clear and settle before the bite return. As promised, my report today was suppose to bring you warm and fuzzy feelings wherever you get them but such is not the case. It sucked today. As soon as my boat entered Pine Island Sound my instincts told me to you CRAMPS/Diaharra/or Bee Sting. The water was that infamous color all Truthful Guides hate to see. Think about taking a glass of water and adding 3 Tablespoons of Tang (Not PoonT...

Capt. John GiddyUp-Bunch   February 20, 2011 Fort Myers - Saltwater Fishing Report   Last week was a freakin' nightmare. 3 great guys board my boat at Punta Rassa for a 4 Hour Fishing Trip. My 4 hour trips take 5 hours because my customers get 4 hours of fishing. With this clarified, allow me to make the following disclosure. IN ORDER NOT TO GET SKUNKED and personally embarrassed, I extended this charter to 6 HOURS. We tried outside first. We never saw a single bait school,...

Fort Myers - Saltwater Fishing Report

Capt. John GiddyUp-Bunch   July 20, 2010 Fort Myers - Saltwater Fishing Report   I will not be fishing Pine Island Sound until the first week in August. We need fishing guides to take Our Troops for a few hours on the water when they are on their combat leave in SW FL. I've done 103 trips in 5 years and I'm getting tired. By the way, I refer countless charters to OOA Guides (if your business is slow. Mine is not)       Giddy Up Fishing Charters...

Grouper Trolling shut off like a light (last Wed)

Capt. John GiddyUp-Bunch   Fort Myers - Saltwater Fishing Report     Hello fellow anglers who love truth in fishing reports! As you know, I always play the hot hand.   For weeks and weeks, Grouper Trolling was simply obsene. At 18.00 per pound, 2 or 3 people scoring limits was the deal of the century. Think about it. I get 425.00 for basically 5 hours and each person scores 5-6LBS of fillets. Subtract my cost for gasoline and your only variable is limiting v...
