Fort Myers - Saltwater Fishing Report

So far 2010 has been a great tarpon season. There are still a lot of tarpon migrating into the area and I have been seeing huge schools of tarpon migrating offshore to spawn. The tarpon fishing in Charlotte Harbor and Pine Island Sound is still good. The beaches both north and south of Boca Grande are holding fish also. Crabs and threadfin herring have been the best baits.

Fort Myers Fishing Forecast:

Due to the cold winter and spring the tarpon migration is running late this year. We could see spawning schools though mid July this year.

Target Species:

Tarpon

More Fishing Reports:

I specialize in light tackle saltwater, and fly fishing from the backcountry of the 10,000 Islands to flats of Pine Island Sound and the bay system of Charlotte Harbor. I have pick-up locations out of Ft Myers, Marco Island, Pine Island, Punta Gorda and Boca Grande. I like to target big fish. During warm months, tarpon, sharks, snook, redfish, cobia, king mackerel and big jacks are the main species sought after. Most of the winter months are devoted to redfish, trout, snook and grouper.
