"RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!" July is the wet month!

Well July has been very "abnormal" from a weather pattern but it is improving! For the first 5 days we had consistent, all day rains that put a damper on our trips but still we survived and now that we are in a normal pattern (mornings and evenings great, mid afternoon rains) we are back to doing our good stuff!

Had a great day out on the water today with Al and Deb and their girls Hannah and Mollie. We had a fabulous dolphin show and had them in our wake for the longest time. The weather was perfect for a "Round the Island" cruise and frankly I was not in too big of a hurry to get back.

We toured the island for these folks. It is there first time in the area so I gave them a "sightseeing" adventure that left them with local knowledge of the restaurants, history, nature and fun of Ft. Myers Beach!

Thank you guys for joining me today. I could not have had a better time. 

Come back to see us again!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my wife Sonja! 

Hello all and WELCOME TO SUMMER TIME!

It has been a wonderful month here on the Island with Chubby's Tropical Adventures. We have been busy. If this is an indicator, the month of July should be very busy. Chubby showed up all over the place as we traveled around the islands enjoying the sunny days here in Southwest Florida.

If you have not spent time here please come and visit us. We are in our typical weather pattern where the mornings are beautiful and calm, the afternoon rains and storms roll through and then the night gives way to beautiful sunsets.

The fishing is beginning to pick up some, after Andrea came through it seemed to have slowed down the bite some. We have been catching plenty of sharks, including black tip, bonnet head and even some bulls, and of course the catfish and lady fish are out in number. Mangrove snapper, redfish and some nice snook are out there feeding on live shrimp and cut bait too. They say snook season will open again on September 1 so we are anxiously awaiting the season. We even caught a few pompano in the bay this past week so things are looking up for a good summer catch.

The sunsets have been awesome against the summer clouds which seem to explode in color as the sun goes down across the Gulf. As always the afternoon is iffy weather wise with the storms developing but they are short lived. Mornings are excellent for trips and most evenings for sunset. We can book and watch the weather regardless and most of the time get the trip in. We are blessed here on the island to have he weather "skirt" us most of the time.

Enjoy the pics from Chubby's and come to see us for boating adventures in the islands!
