With the mild air and water temps the fishing is spectacular. Redfish are biting well in the back bays in the Ft. Myers area using live pinfish and pilchards around the mangrove shorelines. The nearshore wrecks are keeping my clients busy with catches of grouper, bonito, cobia, Mackeral and tripletail using free lined and bottom live baits. The tripletail are on the crab buoys.

Ft. Myers area is producing great catches of snook and redfish. Cooler temps and abundant of bait is why these fish are hungry. Live pilchards and cut pinfish is the go to baits. Oyster bars and mangrove shorelines are the ambush spots. This is a great time to be on the water so get out there and enjoy it.

Fishing is great at this time of the year. We're catching snook on the nearshore wrecks, passes and shorelines close to the passes as they start their migration to the back country. Redfish are being caught in numbers on healthy grass flats using live bait.
