Fishing in Fort Myers is heating up!

Fishing is really starting to heat up in Estero Bay and the Gulf waters thanks to warmer water temperatures and excellent spring tides. Redfish are starting to show and there have been quite a few nice snapper caught on the near shore reefs. Sheepshead are everywhere and are getting bigger and bigger thanks to the spawn. They make a great dinner and are fairly easy to catch.

Fishing is coming along and the sheepshead are in full spawn mode. They are moving from the backwaters to the nearshore reefs daily. Big sheepies to 8 pounds are being taken on the reefs and rock piles and 2 to 4 pounders are on the inside. Shrimp on a light wire hook or small jig heads have been the go-to method. Capt. Sean said that lots of trout are starting to move into the bay as well but it has been a “here today, gone tomorrow” kind of thing. Live shrimp under a popping cork seems to do the trick. Redfish are starting to show more regularly as well and fishing for them should improve as the weather warms.

Little Bit of Sunshine in Southwest Florida

Capt. Sean Davis of Fish Warrior Charters summed up the past week with one word. “Wow!” What a difference a little bit of sunshine and warmer temperatures do for fishing. He said the trout bite has really taken off and his clients are catching them to 5 pounds using live shrimp under a popping cork. The key to their success was locating large lady fish on the feed as opposed to small ladies. If his anglers were catching small ladies they’d also catch small trout. When they found the larger ladies that is where the big trout were. Good current flow was also a factor in catching these fish.

The red fish are also starting to show up in much better numbers and can be found fishing tight to the mangroves with shrimp. Capt. Sean said that the fishing should only improve as the weather heats up.
