These guys are great! They will take you fishing or take you out to see dolphins and collect shells. They are Florida Natives and are the best! This is so much fun and worth every penny. And for you plus size ladies like me, they are kind enough to help you in and out of the boat without embarrassing you.This family of fishing pros are the best Sanibel/Captiva has to offer. You won't be disappointed. We can't wait to come back and go out with them again! And Mrs.Burnsed is so friendly on the phone, she makes you feel like family!

Fishing in May

Caroline Garrow and husband visiting Captiva from Milk, Wisconsin, wanted their shark on the beach, not in the boat with them.  Fishing with Capt. Jim Burnsed the Garrow's are all smiles after landing this 5 foot shark.

Tarpon 2012

 Mike Uffner and family visiting Captiva from Delware, had an exciting morning with Capt. Jimmy Burnsed of the Santiva Saltwater Fishing Team.

It doesn't take a man to fight a Tarpon, but it helps.

Bill Grabe and family

The Santiva Saltwater Fishing Team of Capts. Jim, Jimmy and Rob have been on the water everyday.
Fishing is good and folks are having a great time.

 The Tarpon are here and the guys are hooking  and boating Tarpon . I ask capt. Jim why I am not getting pictures, he said they are to busy on the trips to take pictures.

So if you have been out with the Santiva Saltwater Fishing Team and have any pictures of your family I can post on the blog, send them to me at santivacharters@comcast.net  with your name.

are we the Windy City ?

 The Santiva Saltwater Fishing Team was hoping for a quick start to the 2012 Tarpon season . With the unusually high winter temperatures and warm water, the captains thought  Tarpon might even arrive earlier.

Instead of Tarpon...........May has brought more than our share of windy days.

Each day brings new and different expectation from the beautiful waters off Captiva,  and tomorrow might just be "the best day of fishing ever". Tarpon show up over night

In spite of the disappointment in the Tarpon fishing, customers are enjoying catching sharks, sea trout and red fish.

My wife and I, who have been out previously with your team had the pleasure of
showing our friends Jim and Ann FitzGerald the mystique of Pine Island Sound.
Rob McKay could not have been more cordial. He was knowlegable an most
entertaining. We even got to see a rare Star Gazer fish he just recently had
identified himself. The Morgan is a great vessel for four guests. Sharing
stories and jokes and enjoying a beautiful day on the water was a highlight
for our friends. Rob is a stellar representative of your team and we look
forward to a repeat adventure with him in the future. Thank You.

Windy day snook

The Santiva Saltwater Fishing Team has be forced to stay at the dock for the past 4 days. The wind has blown 25 to 30 knots ,  finally taking a break calming to about 15 knots this afternoon.

 Capt. Jimmy Burnsed was the only guide to brave the strong winds and it payed off for Charlie.

Charlie boated this 12 lb snook, a picture than back in the water.
