Springtime fishing in Southwest Florida!

“Hooray, Spring finally made it to southwest Florida”. The bait is thick along the area beaches. Throw a 1/4 inch cast net to score big on scaled sardines. The near shore bite is a sure thing right now. Big spanish mackerel, kingfish, cobia, and others have invaded the near shore reefs. White bait on a 3/0 circle hook with a small split shot is all that is needed to get these fish to bite. If your bait can get past the top half of the water column there are grouper, snapper and trout near the bottom that will eat your bait as well. It has been a long cold winter so get out there and enjoy the warm sunshine and catch some fish!

“Bait, bait, bait.” It’s time to dust off your cast nets and get to work catching live bait along the beaches. They are currently covered with nice sized scaled sardines and a well full of them will ensure a great day of fishing. The snook are running rampant along the oyster bars and passes. Free lining the bait on a 2/0 or 3/0 circle hook is the ticket. It is all catch and release snook fishing right now but no one is complaining about getting 20 to 30 snook a day with many in or over the slot. The jacks are also busting the live bait and they are great fighters on light tackle.
