we started off going to fort myers pier and let me tell you that place blows big time . the signs say it all ......




but all we caught there was pin fish and very small catfish and i do mean small . here is my brother one one of them .



so we packed it up and went to the casueway , there was a bunch of people already there
but we set up and asked if any one was catching anything and they say not for a few hours , ok went and got my grouper rig and put a nice sized pin on there wasnt even to the bottom yet and whack , hooked up and rocked up let the rod sit for a min lose line and here we go again , landed a 23 in grouper



other than that we ended up with the one grouper and 8 grovers not a bad night

if you look on the map here www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=nddm1g84z3rg&style=b&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&scene=10113517&encType=1

fish the seawall faceing south , and depending on what you bring to fish with pin fish sardines live or dead shrimp depends on what you catch .

that seawall if you drop a pin or sardines right next to the seawall can land ya a grouper .

casting out a bit will get you a grover or 2 on live or dead shrimp .

floating a live shrimp will get you a seatrout now and then ...

and the best bait i have found is catch um' bait and tackle it a little bit out the way but its better bait than you get from the rest of them

trust me that was the frist time there and the last , we will stick to the other spots we have found , snook grouper and grovers make some goo meals so we will stick with that for a while till we get the boat finished .
