Estero Bay: Tarpon-Snook-Redfish - The tarpon bite in Estero Bay continues to stay strong. Locating the fish isn't the problem though. Half of the battle is getting a fish to bite and not shake the hook. These fish are feeding on mullet, crabs, shrimp, pilchards, soft plastics, and ha more...

Great times in SWFL - As another week of steady afternoon storms goes by, the bite has been good. These steady rains are keeping the water temperatures in the low 80's and that's created a great early morning bite. This week we had good tides giving us good moving water t more...

Work'n Hard, Hardly Working - Good results 20-45 miles out, weather permitting. Lousy rain cycle made for rough sledding but soon crews braved the monsoon and reported good grouper, cobia kings and snapper action outa Boca. Livebait was the easy way to go, as usual, pins, blue ru more...
