We are starting to catch good numbers of redfish and sea trout around the outside creeks rivers & passes. I use the same rig for all these fish and it’s nothing special but it’s tried and tested to catch fish . I use 15lb braided line (spider wire / power pro ) to a 3ft section of fluorocarbon leader(30lb) and a 1/0 hook. The beaches and near shore wrecks are loaded up with pilchards and threads so with a few throws you should be loaded up for an action packed morning of inshore fishing! C yah’ll on the water !!!
The Naples & Marco island fishing continues to be productive. Weather temps are mild with highs around 80 degrees and water temps in the low 70s. This weeks morning incoming tides have been pushing loads of bait in and out of the passes .  Snook , redfish , jacks , snapper , sea trout have been congregating close to these shorelines. Snook are still stacked up on the outside islands and points looking for an easy meal . If you can time it right look for the incoming cold fronts and make sure your on the water a few day before it’s arrival. The snook and redfish go crazy this time of year just prior to these fronts . Live bait is plentiful on the beaches or the offshore piles. Load up ,chum heavy and you can just about get them eating out of your hands. Catch M up !!!
