Hundreds of people turned up to witness the demise of the historic terminal, as the nighttime blaze lit up the waterfront and the new Caloosahatchee Bridge. A shrimp trawler was damaged too, but fortunately, several others were moved from the wharf before at least two gasoline tanks exploded. Fire fighters couldn’t save the two-story building, which was flammable “fat pine” beneath the stucco, so they eventually turned off the water and abandoned efforts. The fire was thought to have begun in a workshop area on the wooden docks behind the terminal. The building, most of the dock, a shrimp ice house, tools and equipment, and 4,000 pounds of shrimp were lost. More than 40 years earlier, in 1923, Barron G. Collier had gone into the steamboat business on the river at Carson when he bought an existing business, the Fort Myers Steamship Company, which had been started by IW Riggs and Harry Botts. The facilities, which consisted of a wharf, warehouse and offices, were renamed the Today, no sign of a boom-time steamship terminal is evident. Activities such as sailing and Collier Terminal. playing in the adjoining park have replaced those of the early working waterfront.

Doing so was crucial to developing his new county, whose seat was Everglades (now called Everglades City). Oddly enough, Collier even competed against his own new steam line, for he also owned a bus line, Tamiami Trail Tours, headquartered in Fort Myers. Only three years after purchasing the facilities at Carson, they were destroyed. Col- lier rebuilt in the architectural style of boom times: the yellow stucco building with a decorative arch and tower pictured here. It was completed in February 1927, but the new steam line was out of business by the late 1920s. For many years after the fire, shrimp- and seafood-packing businesses operated at the foot of Carson.

Matt Mitchell fter a few cold days, temperatures slowly rebounded and fishing kicked into high gear. Snook and trout Awere my target species this week and provided my clients with some great December action. Shiners reappeared on the causeway bridges, and it was basically business as usual chumming live baits and catching lots of fish. To have a week of 80 degree-plus temperatures is a real reminder why we enjoy December in southwest Florida. Large mangrove creek mouths and the deeper shorelines just inside that had a strong moving current and provided an often nonstop snook bite this week. Add a few scoops of live shiners to chum and not only snook but trout, grouper, jacks and mangrove snapper all quickly came to life. During the big morning low tides, these deeper shorelines were almost the only place to fish as many of my regular fishing spots were just not accessible. Warming water temperatures was bad news for sheepshead anglers with most of these fish just disappearing, even from areas around the passes. We are still early for the sheepshead bite to kick into full swing with February and March being prime-time spawning months for the bigger fish. Small mangrove snapper moved into many of the places we target sheepshead and made it just about impossible to catch any other species as they are in such huge numbers. Trout fishing in some of the more sheltered bays including McIntyre Creek and the Wulfert Keys area had some of the most nonstop trout action I have experienced so far this winter. Live shrimp on a popping cork rig caught as many trout as anglers could take. This crazy bite came in the sandy edges of the shallow bars during the low incoming tide. Once we found the depth these trout where hanging out in, we were able to catch them on almost every cast. Most of these fish are under the 15-inch minimum though a few were as large as 18 inches where caught. There is not a better way to keep a boat full of kids entertained than this action. Within an hour, we had a nice cooler full of trout. With outstanding weather for Christmas week in the forecast, it’s going to be a very busy week out on the water. I can’t think of a better thing to do with out-of-town visitors than take them out on the water or to the beach and enjoy our Florida sunshine. Capt. Matt Mitchell has been fishing local waters since he moved to Sanibel in 1980. He now lives in St. James City and works as a back country fishing guide.
