Myers Beach to Charlotte Harbor)<br \/>\nAugust 17, 2016<\/p>\n<p>Fishing remains good inshore, especially early mornings on high incoming or outgoing tides for Seatrout on the flats. Troll for Spanish Mackerel around Sanibel Lighthouse, in Redfish, N. Captiva and Boca Grande Passes, using spoons with swivels and 40lb monofilament leaders. Fish for large, Mangrove Snappers in the passes using small circle hooks, 3oz. lead weights with shrimps or small Pinfish for bait. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Snook are on the beaches and easy targets with Pilchards, shrimps and artificial presentations. It is a little tougher in Pine Island sound as the summer heat, high and dirty water seems to have displaced some of the species. I suggest fishing under docks and at creek mouths for best results. Snook season opens September 1st and now is the time to locate them and practice one\u2019s angling skills for when harvest season opens. These are \u2018slot\u2019 fish and must be at least 28\u201d long, but not longer than 33\u201d. Inexperienced anglers will find this \u2018slot\u2019 size will test their ability.<\/p>\n<p>Redfish are becoming a good to target along the mangroves on the high incoming and early outgoing tides. They are biting on big shrimp, but will take artificial presentations, cut ladyfish and pinfish as well. Patience is the key to catching this species on live or cut baits. Look for them during the high part of the tide along the spoil mangrove islands, on and around mud or sand bars holding oyster clusters. The larger shrimp from Tampa vendors are the better bets for the Snook and Redfish. <\/p>\n<p>As always, small shrimp for other inshore species will produce. Decent size Pinfish and pilchards in good numbers are available for cast netting in numerous locations in Pine Island Sound. Try Picnic Island, Chino, Wulfert Keys sand bar, the northwest or southern areas of Usseppa in about 4 foot of water (to name a few locations).<\/p>\n<p>Pictured here is my friend Mr. Roger Chase of Marshalltown, Iowa with a 24\u201d Redfish he caught on a large shrimp under the mangroves. I took 2nd \u2018Mate\u2019, Moby \u2018Dick\u2019 along for the ride. It was Moby\u2019s maiden voyage to catch a Redfish. Moby is pictured relaxing out of the sun after boating the fish. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/goboatingflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3570.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_3570\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8113\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/goboatingflorida.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3558.jpeg\" alt=\"IMG_3558\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8112\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>I am excited to fish the next few days on the higher tides and water levels during the full moon phase. I suggest this is as good time as any to fish the passes, offshore and inshore, so long as one does not wait until late afternoon when storms may arrive.
