The MacDonald Family visited Captiva Island and ‘Tween Waters Inn for a adventure-filled fishing trip, featured this weekend on Bass 2 Billfish — a spectacular fishing show on Versus.

The family explored the area, catching snook, bass and even goliath grouper. Dad Mike and daughter Maggie competed for biggest, best fish — Maggie won of course, and even Mom tried out Goliath Grouper fishing.

Peter Miller was a great host, bringing them out to ‘Tween Waters Inn to enjoy the fishing, plus kayaking and even the crab races. It all aired this weekend, but be sure to check for reruns of this classic trip to Captiva.

During the July 4th weekend, the annual Funtastic Fourth Fishing Derby was in full swing at ‘Tween Waters Inn. Families and kids of all ages took part in the competition with hopes to hook the “big one” and enjoy a nice summer day near the water. A fun time was had by all, with two two awards (for “Longest Fish” and “Most Fish”) given out in each age group.

In the Age 7-10 group, Grant Reecher nabbed the prize for the “Longest Fish” and Lauren Kvederis won for the “Most Fish.”

Among those in the Age 11-17 group, Jake Hahn won the “Longest Fish” award and the Kvederis family did it again when Alex took home the prize for the “Most Fish.”

And in the Age 18+ group, Tom Hahn won for the “Longest Fish” and Larry Arnold earned the trophy for the “Most Fish.”

The derby participants and any other hungry visitors were welcome to join the post-tourney Captiva Island Roast where they could enjoy slow-roasted pig and other island dishes. It was a fun day for all at ‘Tween Waters Inn and a great way to celebrate Independence Day in paradise!

A ‘Tween Waters beach was used as a location for a recent CNN iReport about the oil spill and the current conditions of the local beaches. Forunately, all is still well.

From CNN.com

June 24 — The beaches of Sanibel and Captiva are clean of oil and the water remains crystal clear.

The oil spill is hundreds of miles away from the Southwest Florida islands and it is unlikely that they will even be affected due to the Gulf stream current complicating the spread of the oil. From this eyewitness view, the beaches remain unspoiled and wildlife has not been affected as of yet.

As of now, visitors continue to flock to Sanibel and Captiva for summer vacations, and to enjoy the sunshine and clean, shell-covered beaches.
