Pine Island and Matlacha Best Backcountry Fishing
Cape Coral, FL
the boys and I took off early morning to scout duck hunting possibilities in Matlacha Pass. i have observed several species of ducks the last few weeks in the pass as well as early spring redheads in the 1000's last spring.
We set up for wind on the northern tip of an island in order to see big water ducks that may be coming into the mangroves and grass flats to feed. numerous redheads and mergansers were observed but stuck to open water.
This was also several days after our biggest cold front of the year and we observed numerous dead fish with little to no signs of fish activity in the pass.
