Port Charlotte Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Port Charlotte
Fishing around Pine Island/Matlacha/Sanibel has been heating up with these slightly cooler temperatures as we transition into fall. The delayed rainy season can make dialing in conditions on the water a little tricky but with the right tide and some sun you can definitely find the fish.
Schools of redfish have been popping up all over the sound, as well as jacks and the snook are coming back in to head to their winter haunts so sight fishing them in skinny water is a blast right now.

The fishing has been great the past few weeks! The water is cooling and the fish are chewing. Now is a great time to cast a line and make some memories. The redfish are eating shrimp tipped jig heads or shrimp under floats along oyster bars and mangrove islands. We are also picking up plenty of mangrove snapper with this set-up.
