Happy New year everyone and I hope you have a very blessed 2015!!
The weather this January has been beautiful lately! Temperatures in the mid 70’s to low 80’s have kept the bait around and the fish have been loving it! Snook, redfish, trout, flounder and pompano have all come aboard recently.
Boca Grande Fishing Report
The redfish have finally started to show up recently. Earlier in December I was struggling a little but now I’m catching them pretty consistently. Most of the reds have been in the 24″-30″ range and weighing 5 lb. – 10lb. There has also been a ton of “rat” reds that are under 18″ as well, which is fun while your waiting to catch a big boy. The redfish action should continue to improve as we get into February.
Snook fishing has been absolutely on fire! The recent warmer weather has really got them chewing. I am averaging 20-50 fish a trip with most of the snook being in the 20″-28″ range and weighing 2 lb.- 6 lb. with a few fish over 30″ just about every charter. As long as we continue to have these crazy warm temperature the snook fishing should stay really good!!
The trout fishing this year has been a little strange for me. I’m catching a ton of fish but not a lot of really big ones. Getting a nice limit has not been a problem as long as your willing to wade through some little guys. Most of the keeper fish have been in the 15″-20″ and weighing about 2 lbs.
In the mix bag flounder, sheepshead and pompano have all been making an appearance. It is really nice to be catching these fish while fishing for reds and trout and they make excellent table fare.
I am now booking for 2015 Boca Grande Tarpon fishing. I am booking up VERY quickly this year so if you are planning a tarpon trip you may want to call me ASAP.
