Fisherman…. Start Your Fishing Boats… Ready, Set, GO!

Mother Nature is helping out for the next couple of weeks with the unique combination of spring tides and the full moon… Fisherman are ecstatic!

Spanish mackerel, pompano, flounder, redfish, bass and spotted seatrout are just but a few of the delicacies to be had if you stick your rod into the ocean over the next few days!

You can read all about it and see some great photos over at:  Fishing Fest

Enjoy your weekend,

Yep, that’s right, the Second Annual F.I.S.H. 10K Run is coming up soon and we sure wouldn’t want you to miss it!

“Friends in Service Here (F.I.S.H.)” is a non-profit, volunteer organization that helps those in need on Sanibel and Captiva Islands and this year’s fundraising event is sure to be a big hit after seeing the turn out last year.

Over 500 runners from all over are scheduled to take off running at 7:30am on Saturday, October 16th.  Are you registered yet?

It’s great fun and it’s for a really great cause, so make sure you head over to the Sanibel Community Center, even if you’re not running, to experience the Expo and help cheer on the participants!

Oh, I almost forgot, if you’re coming from out of town, the Kona Kai Hotel located at 1539 Periwinkle Way, (239) 472-1001, will be offering a special rate of only $79/night if you mention the F.I.S.H 10K… Ya gotta love discounts!  ;)

You can get more information at the Runner’s World website here:  Sanibel F.I.S.H. 10K Run

Hope to see you there!

Have a great weekend,

If you are a die-hard fisherman and you don’t live on Sanibel or Captiva Island, then what are you waiting for?

Homes couldn’t be better priced… ummm, can you say “serious buyers’ market”?  There is great inventory and, as you know, interest rates are at all-time lows.

Over this past two weeks, including the long 4th weekend, our resident “Fisherman Reporter”, Captain Bill Russell, reports that fabulous catches are being snagged early morning, before the heat and thunderstorms set in.  This summer’s been a hot one so far.

Tarpon season may be ending, but they are still plentiful, alongside 20+ inch trout, redfish, bluefish and Spanish mackerel… Amazing!

You can read all about it here: Hot Days, Few Anglers, Good Fishing

So, if you’ve been pondering a move to this one-of-a-kind fishing paradise, Sanibel and Captiva, then stop making excuses and hop on it.  We’re just a quick and friendly phone call away!

Have a great weekend,

Sandy and Rob

p.s.  Your Sanibel Beach Home Awaits…

Are you a biker? Do you enjoy longer bike trips that take you all day to get through?

If so, then there are plenty of opportunities for you in and around Sanibel and Captiva.

We have some of the most beautiful trails that wind through lovely wildlife reserves, as well as over bridges and sand dunes, all with spectacular views.

Even outside of Sanibel and Captiva, over on the mainland, there are amazing trails that will take you through mangrove orchards and sabal palm trees.  One such place is the Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park where you can easily spend the day enjoying the different trails and lookout points over the water.

One couple moved to Florida recently and shares their experience, which I thought was a nice way to introduce people outside of Florida to this low-maintenance outdoor activity with plenty of high-impact nature and wildlife.

You can read all about it here:  Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park

Ok, that’s it for this week, hope you can get out and enjoy the trails this weekend!

Have a good one,

Sandy and Rob

If you love tennis, then you will want to be at The Dunes Golf and Tennis Club this weekend!

The inaugural NTRP Tennis Championships sponsored by the USTA will be taking place with matches at all different levels for men and women with singles, doubles and mixed doubles.

If you are tennis buff, then we don’t have to tell you that there are a plethora of options open to you all over Naples, Ft. Myers and even right here on Sanibel and Captiva Islands.

Here’s one link to many different tennis events:  Local tennis: Action heating up at city tennis championships

Enjoy the weekend and we’ll see you next week,
