The bait is finally showing up on the beaches. The bite is slowing down in the afternoon due the heat. Lots of fun bites out there though

The shallow water backbay fishing has been crazy good past week. The cooler air temps have really turned on the redfish bite! Shrimp under popping corks has been the go-to set-up and producing good numbers and slot size fish! Trout on the grass flats in 3-5 feet of water have been chewing shrimp topped jig heads under popping corks. There have been a few slot sized fish mixed in but most have been right under slot at 14 inches. There has also been some quality bait schools along the beaches which have led to some good snook fishing as well....

Come and get you some and let's bend some rods!

Yes, the bigger mangrove snapper are inshore and near offshore right now. The redfish and snook have been plentiful and willing to eat live and artificial bait.

sheephead bite has been pretty steady due to cold water temperatures
unfortunately the last cold front lowered water temperatures to below 55 degrees and killed a good bunch of snook
trout bite has been on the rise using cut live shrimp on a jig head
redfish continue to be in the witness protection program
this beautiful weather will improve the fish bite for sure

The inshore bite has been as hot as the temps here in SW Florida. The seatrout bite is crazy good around the grass flats in 3-5 feet of water. Shrimp under a popping cork is the ticket. There have been some quality redfish hanging around the mangrove edges and oyster bars on higher water. Free lined pinfish or pins under a float will work best. Just remember to get out early to beat the heat as the bite has been over around 11 am.

Snook bite is hot right now using live shrimp.
Grey Snapper bite is also hot along with lady fish and catfish in between.
Redfish bite continues to be a difficult find but we’re getting on them here and there.

The fishing has been really good both inshore and nearshore. The shallow water bite has been good for spotted seatrout and ladyfish. Plenty of keeper seatrout. Mostly caught in shrimp under a popping cork. The nearshore shark fishing has been crazy good with both size and variety! Cut bait and chumming is the key to getting them to feed.

    We had Dominick as our captain and he was fantastic. We didn’t catch a ton of fish but it wasn’t for a lack of trying it was just one of those things. We did catch fish just not a ton or anything large on this trip. Would definitely book again.
