Fresh Fishing Reports from Pine Island

Inshore slam

November 11, 2023

In a recent inshore fishing expedition, anglers experienced an exciting and successful day on the water, achieving an impressive inshore slam by landing redfish, snook, and sea trout. The expedition occurred in a well-known inshore fishing hotspot, providing the perfect conditions for targeting these popular game fish.

Cool Temps with a Hot Bite

November 7, 2023

The weather is cooling down but the fishing is heating up, and it’s getting to be some of the finest fishing of the year. We are finding large schools of redfish, big hungry snook, larger slot sized trout and to top it off the sheepshead are moving inshore for the winter months. We are starting to transition over to fishing shrimp but still catching nice white bait for the big predators to eat. It’s a great time to get out and fight some fish, the winds have held us up from going offshore much but the inshore bite is just as good and the results speak for themselves.

The fishing conditions are currently excellent, with the water temperature dropping to 75 degrees. This has made the fish, particularly redfish and sea trout, more active during both high and low tide scenarios. Additionally, the temperature outside is ideal for a four to three-hour fishing trip, as it is nice and cool. Whether you are looking to catch dinner or simply enjoy recreational catch and release, now is the perfect time to book your fishing trip.

Offshore fishing 60 to 70 miles out. 10 or 12hr trip will give you the best chance to catch the bigger fish.

Be prepared for weather that ranges from blistering hot and sunny to chilly rainstorms. No matter the weather though, there is all sorts of fishing to get on.

I would recommend leaving early, or going in the beginning evening. It gets really hot out and the sun is brutal.

Florida is always tricky when it comes to the weather. But if you get the chance to fish I would highly recommend it.

I recommend a early morning trip while it is cool out. Also recommend a multi species trip so you can have a great day on the water.

When booking your trip, make sure you confirm the booking with the captain directly. Captain Scott Williams (from "Thrill of it All" charter company) confirmed the booking then canceled at the last minute leaving us to scramble to find a replacement charter. I'm grateful to Captain Roland Wilock of "Day Shape Fishing Charters" for taking us on such short notice and giving us a memorable experience. HIGHLY recommend Day Shape Fishing Charters.

Careful of the weather, as we had to move days due to storms, and ended up being on choppy water near the end of our trip making snapper fishing difficult.

All I say is listen to Captains advice. The man knows his stuff to tides, weather and moons. He will put you on the fish. The rest is up you.

If your fishing in the Ft Meyers area in the spring stay around the Mangroves as they are plenty of fish to be caught and a large variety active!
