The weather here in Boca Grande has been like a Chamber of Commerce ad! The temperatures have been in the mid to upper seventies, sunny with a nice breeze. Sounds awful, right? Well the fish don’t think so! Fishing has been really good lately. Snook, big trout and redfish have all been coming aboard on recent trips and the rods have been staying bent with some crazy action.
Snook fishing has been outstanding recently. 50 plus fish days have been the norm with the average size being around 24” with some 40” monsters mixed in! The cooler water temps have these fishing fighting super hard and making drags scream.
The big trout like this cooler weather as well. Most of the fish are in the 18” range and I have been able to but some nice limits of big trout in the boat lately. I have even had a few trips where it has been difficult catching fish under the 20” mark!
Redfish have been the toughest to come by but I have been catching some really nice fish. I am averaging 5-8 reds a day with most of the fish in the 25” range. I have had quit a few over slot reds mixed in the as well.
In the mixed bag I have been catching flounder Pompano and tripletail. I am not really targeting them but if I see some we have been having great success!
Catch Fish, No Excuses!
