Water Temperatures Bite - My report comes via Oxford, Maryland. It is written from observations by 2 Captains I trust without reservation. Capt Norm Meshaw and Capt David Dean.

Should snook be pressured by Guides in SW FL after massive kill? - My vote is NO. Leave our snook alone. One of the biggest snook kills in SW FL history occurred less than 3 months. There are trout, pompano, plenty of grouper to troll up, TripleTail on the markers, and cobia/permit on the reefs when we can catch a b more...

Sunday King Mack Tournament (4 Fish for 75 Boats) - Not only is my Report Title above hard to believe (SKA in Marco) but some dimwit keeps reporting water temperatures in the Mid 70's to News-Press fishing expert Byron Stout.

At 2PM on Tuesday Sanibel Causeway water temp was 58.7 - My charter yesterday totally sucked. I thought finding tripletail under the noon sun would be a slam dunk. Thank goodness I run a 2008 Honda 225BF because we ran seemingly forever (my charter customer wanted a piece of tail for dinner and I argue wit more...

Tough Weather and tougher fishing conditions - As you know, reports abound of charter days of 59 snook, 87 redfish, and 119 trout on a 1/2 Day (4HR trip) but no such report comes from me. Water temps continue to average 62-63 and once again, Snook go into shock at 60 degrees.
I'm having a very more...
