May is one of my favorite months to fish and this May is no different. Bait has been plentiful with threadfin herrings gathered up around the bridges and nearshore structure while whitebait is all over the beaches. Catch the bait and then pick your species. Sharks, tarpon and big spanish mackerel dominate the nearshore region this month. Drifting large threads in 10 to 20 feet of water can produce all three at any given time. Snook, trout and and jack crevalle will readily take the free lined white bait anywhere around the passes. Big Carlos and New Pass are loaded with all three.
Migrating tarpon off of the beaches are waiting to eat your free lined threadfin herring. Speckled sea trout are lining up in the passes during good moving water and will go after white bait or shrimp. Snook are standing by to attack anything that goes by them on the strong out going tides this past week. Remember, they are catch and release only right now.If you are looking for an exciting day of fishing in Soutwest Florida then come "Battle with the Best" with Captain Sean A. Davis.
