Boat rentals, cape coral & punta gorda?

[Capt. John Deering]

I will be visiting Ft. Myers from April 29-May 3. After numerous hours on the computer and the phone here is what I have come up with for renting a small boat.

Mid-Island Marina, Cape Coral does have 18'-19' center consoles with fishfinders for about $260 a day.

Holidaze Boat rentals, Punta Gorda some some small boats about the same $ , but only one has a depth finder, and

Fish Tales, in Ft. Myers also has 17 &18' for about the same $, but not fishfinders.

Do you guys know anything about these places and the boats they rent. I just want to throw some artificial baits around, for about 3-days...instead of seeing the sights with my wife and her friend.

any info. appreciated.

Depends on where you want to fish.

I have used Fish Tale before. Great location very near the Gulf and in an excellent South Ft Myers Beach location. Any Marina in Cape Coral will require a 1/2 hour river ride, in Manatee zones, at idle speed to get near the Gulf or Bay.
