You guys are forgetting one of the greatest gamesfish EVER. The Great Barracuda. Winter is the time, they head to shallow warm water. Along with sharks. The flats on the keys hold some monsters. If you can, take a guide out on the flats for cudas. The experience of watching a 30lb fish hit a topwater plug and run up to 30mph, under and all around the boat....on a light rod with 10lb line is an experience of a lifetime. Nevermind the fact that the flats will hold some monster sharks and rays which are great to watch. I had a lemon shark eat a 25lb cuda right after we released it.

As far as the Sanibel area, I just returned from there last week. The water was very cold. i saw no snook or other gamefish being caught.
