Bay West Fishing offers versatile fishing adventures throughout the waters surrounding Bonita Springs and Fort Myers, giving anglers the opportunity to experience everything from peaceful inshore fishing to exciting offshore trips in the Gulf. Led by Captain Brett Balog, the charter is uniquely federally permitted to fish beyond nine miles offshore, providing access to a wider range of fishing opportunities than many local guides. Whether you're targeting backwater favorites or heading farther into the Gulf in search of bigger fish, Captain Brett tailors each trip to the season, conditions, and your fishing goals.
Guests fish aboard a restored 21-foot Sea Pro center console that comfortably accommodates up to three passengers, creating a personalized experience for small groups and families. Depending on the season, anglers may have opportunities to target snook, speckled trout, mangrove snapper, grouper, cobia, Spanish mackerel, sheepshead, and many other Southwest Florida favorites using spinning, trolling, jigging, and bottom fishing techniques. Rods, reels, tackle, fishing licenses, and quality equipment are provided, making it easy to enjoy a stress-free day exploring the beautiful waters of Florida's Gulf Coast.
