Fort Myers - Saltwater Fishing Report
Saturday was an amazing day to be in SW FL. The fishing was on fire. Grouper/Cobia/Tripletail and even FLOUNDER attacking Big Lip +25 Lures.
My choice was a lure being discontinued by Mann's. If you can find this lure, buy as many as you can. Ready. SBDR600-6H Grn Holo Jumping Mullet. This lure is one of the great lures ever made. Economics have shirted the manufacturing across the Pacific. The lure that replaces it is almost the same but with "textured" sides.
Sunday it turned cold and windy. Tomorrow is suppose to the only calm day going into a weekend with another cold front on Friday and windy/cold on Sat/Sun. This is what sucks about being a Guide. I have charters both days (Sat/Sun) when the wind is suppose to be up and nothing tomorrow.
It is not my intent to bitch/moan/and complain on this forum. Tomorrow I will wake up, wish I had a charter, and go out anyway. Thursday is the only night I drink alcohol (2 Martinis). Let's see what tomorrow brings and I will be back in touch with you.
Fort Myers Fishing Forecast:
Weatherman says windy and cold for the weekend. If so, the megabite will turn off like the wives of most of my friends. Sorry the report is on the weak side. Such is the downside of always being truthful. Will update on what happens tomorrow. GiddyUp
