We are catching a variety of fish on our charters (snook,mangrove snapper,jacks and trout) are all typical catches right now. Red tide is still around but the fish are biting around Bull Bay and Turtle Bay with no sign of dead fish. As we move forward through August and into September I am hopeful the water will start to clear up and the bite will get even better. So if you have the desire to fish now is a good time to get out and catch some. Keep in mind Charlotte Harbor was hit hard by red tide I highly encourage catch and release. If you want to book a trip give me a call **hidden content**) Until next time tight lines everyone.

It has been tough dealing with the red tide here in the harbor but still catching a variety of fish. Bait has been the biggest problem. It has been plentiful to get but keeping it alive crossing the harbor can be tough. Besides that the bite has been pretty good. We have been catching snook, trout,mangrove snapper and flounder. Don't let the red tide keep you in call me and catch some fish.

All the talk in southwest Florida is about the red tide and how it is affecting our sea life. It has done a lot of damage for sure and it is still here in areas around Boca Grande. On the positive side there is still some bait around and fish to catch. I have had to change the way I do things but still catching fish on every trip. On a recent trip I had to bait up twice due to running through an area with red tide and it killed my bait. I did what any other captain would do and picked up my clients and went to catch more bait. Although I don't like to catch bait with clients on board it had to be done. They were very understanding of the situation and very helpful with the process of catching bait. When we finally got to fishing it turned out to be an epic day. We caught a lot of fish and 6 different species including a 35 inch snook. I would say it was a successful day. So if you are wanting to fish the Boca Grande area you can with success. Till next time tight lines my friends.
