Sweet, this is what I know. I stayed in Bonita Springs which is a part of Fort Meyers, stayed right on Estero Bay which basically emcompasses the area. Estero Bay is very shallow but a very muddy bottom so no good for wading, plus it's full of sharks. I used a great guide Capt. Steve Nagy [url "http://www.bonitaspringsfishing.com"]www.bonitaspringsfishing.com[/url] he had reasonable rates and got me into fish, booked him for half a day, he kept me out alot longer no charge.
8 wt. is fine for the snook and smaller tarpon in the area, you can also rent kayaks and DIY. I did drive over to Sanibel and there is plenty of wade fishing so if you can stay on Sanibel..do it, plus Captiva is basically connected, caught Pompano and Snook around Sanibel just wading, saw some tailing Reds as I was leaving.
The whole area is fishy and awesome.
