Myers Beach to Charlotte Harbor)<\/p>\n<p>My positive report of July 4th &#8211; July 11th was predicated on high tide levels with strong currents due to a new moon phase. Unfortunately, the tide predictions were wrong and we experienced lower water levels, weaker currents and less fish activity. Nonetheless, Pilchards are arriving in bigger numbers and that is a good sign for those wanting live bait. They are small (hatchlings), but are growing and should provide good sizes by the end of the month, just in time for the full moon tides. I recommend a \u00bc mess net.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The sea trout bite has been pretty good at times, as has the Snook activity on both live and artificial presentations and on the outgoing tide. Mangrove Snappers and grouper are in the passes and are eager to take small \u2018bait\u2019 fish or shrimps. Redfish are hard to find due to the low water levels, but this should improve toward the end of the month (full moon phase). The morning hours have proved to be best, as when the midday heat arrives the fish will move from their traditional \u2018haunts\u2019, making them hard to find. Redfish will be the exception to heat and will bite when the water levels are high and they move into mangroves scattered with oyster clusters. The heat does not seem to \u2018phase\u2019 in the way it does on some of the other species. Use large shrimps or cut Pinfish for best results.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/goboatingflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3084.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_3084\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8047\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/goboatingflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3082.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_3082\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8046\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Offshore fishing is good and should remain so.
