Well hello everyone! Here we are in October already and the weather here in Southwest Florida is absolutely beautiful! The rainy season has come to an end, we have dodged storms this year, survived a lot of rain and are into one of our best times of the year!

Fishing is excellent, dolphins are playing, manatees are out all over the bay and people are having fun here at Chubby's Tropical Adventures.

This last month has been slow but has given us an opportunity to get some things accomplished to prepare for our upcoming busy season. The World Cat has a fresh bottom paint and is ready to go and some much needed maintenance (at my home) was completed.

I went from long hair to short hair and much to my surprise it got a lot of attention! I was even compelled to "grow it back" so as of now it is on it's way back. So Captain Dwight will be sporting his long hair again in season. 

We have had many new friends join us during the September and October months and are so happy to have had them on board with us. 

It is always our pleasure to be able to share our beautiful area with others. Our wildlife and nature abound and to be on the water, sightseeing around Ft. Myers Beach on a nice sunny day is a great way to spend some time. 

Thank you all for joining us here at Chubby's and we hope to see you all again. Season is right around the corner so much work to be done so I am out of here for now! SEE YOU ON THE WATER!

Captain Dwight

August 18, 2013 "Time Flies When You're Having Fun!"

Here it is August 18, 2013 and it suddenly dawned on me I have been negligent in doing a new blog! Holy Cow! I am usually much better at sharing Chubby's Dolphin Tales, however, this month has just slipped away, almost into oblivion!

I would like to take an opportunity to thank all the folks who have made August the best month since we began Chubby's Tropical Adventure a few months back. I was actually thinking August would be a wash and yet here we are with such good trips and great customers. 

From fishing charters, sunset tours, shelling cruises and of course the great DOLPHIN TOURS we have filled our month and enjoyed our days.

I am the luckiest person in the world to be able to make my living doing what I love to do and that is be on the water with my friends the animals and the people who want to come and experience the nature of our area.

Although the water has been quiet messed up from the fresh water discharge from Lake Okeechobee we still are doing quite well with fishing, even though we have to move around and find them a lot. It's still a doable thing and we are having fun.

The dolphins have been wonderful and we never go out without being entertained by those beautiful creatures. I know if nothing else these guys will give us thrills and joy as we watch them jumping in the wake and enjoying our company!

I feel a little guilty because I whizzed by the Fish Tale Marina tour boat "Estero Bay Express" and got a nice pod to jump in our wake but I confess it was not on purpose. I was watching the boat along the mangroves and hoping to see the dolphins and share them with my customers when all of a sudden I saw them in the main channel and then I could not help but make them a part of the show. Captain Bob I believe was piloting the boat and he pulled up right along side of Chubby's and gave his folks a view of what these creatures do best. Captain Bob, I would not do that on purpose but I can't slight the boys and girls of the pod when they so much want to jump so forgive me this time!

By the way if you want to rent a great pontoon boat or a power boat you must check out Fish Tale Marina the next time you are in our area.  They have the best selection! 

Anyway, this month is passing us by so don't wait too long to book your Dolphin, Shelling, Sunset or Fishing Charter with www.chubbystropicaladventures.com. We can always be reached at 239-233-6639 or at chubby@chubbystropicaladventures.com!
