You’ve come to the right place if you are looking for the best shark fishing in the world! WETJET, located in the Sanibel Outlet Mall, sits perfectly in Fort Myers, Florida, which is quite unique when it comes to shark fishing! Why you ask? Because it sits directly on 3 waterways that converge here. This creates “super currents” where moving water keeps the oxygen levels at a very high rate, as these moving waters average 14 mph. Because of this, and the fact that sharks thrive on moving water, this area is a world-class shark fishing destination. Book a fishing charter online and see for yourself!
The Calahoosie River, which travels in from Lake Okeechobee, meets the backwaters of Sanibel & Captiva, creating a drawing current to the Gulf which then converges with the big waters of the Gulf of Mexico, creating what is known to the locals as the “Tooth Triangle.” The waters here move at such a high rate, keeping the oxygen levels high, and fish abundant and the shark fishing world class. WETJET Tours happens to be smack dab in the middle of some of the best inshore, nearshore and deep-sea shark fishing in Florida. Sharks are plentiful all year round from the deep water of the Gulf of Mexico to the shallow flats in and around Fort Myers Beach.
More than a dozen different shark species lurk beneath these waters: Black Tips, Spinners, Hammerheads, Nurse, Lemons, Bonnet Heads, Bull sharks and more call the west coast of Florida home. Have you heard about the legendary hammerhead Old Hitler that hangs out on the west coast of Florida? A hammerhead as wide as a pickup truck and longer than most of the fishing boats it has been spotted from. If you are not sufficiently pumped up about your Fort Myers shark fishing charter by now, research Old Hitler.
