SW Florida Fishing: Winds dying down – good for all
BY CAPT. WILL WATERHOUSE
It is starting to feel like summer here in Boca Grande and that means one thing. Tarpon! The tarpon are starting to show up in the passes and in the harbor. Look to target them on live bait and artificial as well as with the fly if you are looking to catch a sliver king.
The redfish have also been bitting in the back bay on higher tides. Most are catching them on live bait, but they will hit a topwater if you get it in front of one.
The snook fishing has also been good on live bait along with the speckled sea trout. If you are looking to catch some fish for dinner, the trout is the way to go.
As the wind lays down, the offshore fishing will get better and better. Lots of snapper and grouper are being still being caught on the nearshore and offshore wrecks and into the summer the permit fishing will be great.
Come on down and enjoy our great Boca Grande Fishing!
