Finally the wind and cold fronts of March have left us and the fishing is really heating up. Fished with Rob and his wife Lynette yesterday and caught a little bit of everything. Started out the morning working some shallow potholes in 2-3 feet of water. We were able to find some hungry trout and pulled a nice 23” gator trout to the boat! After we were done harassing the speckled trout we moved on to locate some big snook. Man we got on them good ! The first bait in the water got slammed and boom Lynette had a big snook on! That fish spit the hook but no worries a few cast later Rob landed a beautiful 33” snook that he sight casted in just a foot of water. Then Lynette got a second opportunity at one and yanked another 33” snook out of the mangroves like a pro!! We got to watch a few more 40” plus snook swim right by the boat by unfortunately they weren’t hungry. Great start to April in the waters of Sanibel !!

The Snook fishing is on fire right now ! With water temps steadily increasing the big snook are starting to show up around the creek mouths and mangrove shorelines from Fort Myers beach to Boca Grande. Capt Tyler boated this 35lb 44 inch snook this past week in Pine Island Sound. His clients have had multiple opportunities to land one of these beasts throughout the week. If weather patternes continue it will definetly be a snook season for the books. Booking dates are filling up fast so book your trip while you still can !!!!!

Had a great day on the water with John and his grandson Wil. We started off fishing some mangrove creeks where we were able to hook up to a few snook in the 25-28 inch range. As the sun began to climb higher, we moved to a sandy bottom area in about 2ft if water in hopes of sight casting some giant snook. After a few adrenaline pumping attempts at throwing baits to some huge fish we were unable to entice a bite and moved to the next spot. It was here that John was able to drop back a live threadfin herring and connect with a 35” Snook! Great fish John!
