NOTES

April is heating up

Pine Island Sound - Lee, FL

As our waters crept into the low 80's this past week, our fishing is just getting better. Snook and redfish are out of their back country hides and cruising mangrove islands, trout are covering the flats and our tarpon migration is hitting full stride. The winds these past few weeks have made tides difficult to judge and days on the skiff difficult. On calm days, watch the tides. At lower tides, fishing oyster bars and grassy ledges in 3-4' of water has been key. As the water rises on the flats and we are able to get into the islands and mangroves, snook have been hitting artificial and live thread fins especially as water gets moving down the banks. Beaches for tarpon and snook site casting is a great late spring task and outgoing currents in local passes flush crabs and bait out which fire up the tarpon and snook bites!
