SW Florida Fishing: All areas ready to fish
BY CAPT. WILL WATERHOUSE
As the wind has started to lay down a bit, lots of tarpon are being caught on the beaches, in the passes, everywhere. The ‘World Richest’ Tarpon Tournament was held this week in Boca Grande Pass, stay tuned to see who win.
In the back country lots of redfish are being caught on live bait. Look to fish for them on higher tides in the morning before the temperatures get hot.
The snook fishing has also been good and we have been mainly targeting them with live bait. Along with the snook the trout have been steady.
Offshore, reports of permit, grouper and snapper have been steadily being caught. Look to target the permit on nearshore wrecks with crabs.
Come on down and enjoy our great Boca Grande fishing.
