Trip Summary

Captain Rich fishing out of Burnt Store Marina in Punta Gorda Florida reported a excellent bite this week on Charlotte Harbor . Despite the cooler than normal temperatures the inshore action has been outstanding. Our winter time Staples of Sea Trout and Sheepshead have not disappointed and this has been the best winter Redfish bite we have see in some time. With long range temperature forecast looking more springlike we are excited about how good it could actually get this month DD from PA caught his limit today on the full day boat, ripping over 100 fish to the boat and taking top honors with his first inshore slam. Back at it again tomorrow with another full day boat. Plenty of openings in the schedule to get you in on the action this month.
