Fishin’ Frank says “The Fishing is quite good right now and the weather is perfect.”

Finally got to get out Fishin with my dad.

As I have said before, there are lots of Redfish out in the Harbor.  We spent 3 hours fishing the east side, about 3/4 of a mile north of Pirate Harbor, and caught 6 Reds, 3 Snappers, a huge Bonnet Shark, and 3 Snook.  Oh and a couple of Catfish and a Needlefish.  They were small, but not a bad way to spend a few hours.  We caught everything, except the Snook, on live shrimp either using a sinker or under a Poppin Cork.  The Snook was caught on a Storm Twitch.

The Fishing is quite good right now and the weather is perfect. The water is very dark.  The strange thing, and yes there is always something – a Pompano jumped out of the water, 15 feet in front of me just to tease me.  I could almost hear that Pompano blowing raspberries at me.

“The stronger currents will provide more oxygen to the water and will improve the bite as well.” Says Captain Terry

(Ft. Myers Beach to Charlotte Harbor)  This week offers us great fishing with a ‘full’ moon and higher tide levels which will allow access for many anglers to the remote areas. The stronger currents will provide more oxygen to the water and will improve the bite as well.

The Redfish bite has been strong and plentiful! I suggest getting to the mangroves and working the incoming before the tides ‘max’ out for your best chances. Redfish are not as easy to find once they leave the mangroves and oyster beds. The baits of choice have been large handpicked shrimps, cut pinfish and crabs. As the summer temperatures ‘heat up’ I’ve noticed the big bull Redfish are coming in from the gulf sooner than expected.

Captain Terry had a ‘special treat’ a few weeks ago and was able to fish the freshwater lakes and ponds with three of his grandchildren that are pictured here. Landon (8) is pictured with his large Catfish, Addison (7) is pictured with her Bluegill and Avery (4) is pictured with her Crappie!
