The inshore fishing around Boca Grande, Florida continues to produce quality redfish. This trip resulted in a beautiful overslot redfish caught fishing shallow mangrove shorelines on a moving tide. Water clarity has been solid, and the redfish are staging along structure in 2–4 feet of water. We’ve been finding success targeting oyster bars, points, and current edges. Live bait has been productive, but artificials are also getting solid eats when presented naturally with the tide. Cooler water temps have these fish feeding consistently throughout the day, especially when the sun gets up and warms the flats. It’s a great time of year for anglers looking to hook into bigger class redfish without heavy boat traffic. In addition to redfish, we’re seeing: • Sheepshead around structure • Speckled trout on grass flats • Snook in deeper pockets If you’re searching for a Boca Grande fishing charter or a Southwest Florida inshore fishing guide, the bite is steady and conditions are lining up nicely. Now booking upcoming dates for redfish trips and family-friendly inshore fishing charters out of Boca Grande. Tight lines.

The redfish bite has been strong this week in Boca Grande and surrounding waters including Punta Gorda and Placida. We’ve been finding quality redfish stacked up along mangrove shorelines, oyster bars, and shallow grass flats — especially during lower tides. These fish are feeding aggressively on live shrimp, pilchards, and cut bait. On calmer mornings, sight-fishing opportunities have been excellent with tailing redfish cruising skinny water. Slot-sized fish have been the most consistent, with a few upper-slot and over-slot reds mixed in for some extra drag-screaming action. The key has been working moving water and targeting areas with bait presence. As the tides shift, the redfish are sliding out toward deeper potholes and creek mouths, making them predictable and fun to pattern. If you’re looking to book a Boca Grande redfish charter, now is a great time. Spring conditions are setting up perfectly for steady inshore action, whether you’re a seasoned angler or bringing the family out for a fun day on the water.
