Tons of snook, redfish, and trout. Fishing has been great in between these cold fronts. The drag-screaming kingfish should be showing up right around the corner! Tarpon season will be coming quick!

The fishing has started to heat up down here like the temperature. There has been some really good redfish action lately although most have been on the smaller size.

The winter feels are here in Southwest Florida. We may not be in full blown cold season but it feels like it some days.
