Fishing Is On Fire In Fort Myers

Capt. Andy Boyette
April 4, 2010
Boca Grande - Saltwater Fishing Report

The fishing has been awesome the last few days, the weather has finally became normal. I have been catching a lot of trout and redfish with most of the trout being 5-6 lbs including one that was over 30 inches. Redfish have been mixed sizes with most being cookie cutter 20-21 inch, but are making some fun nonstop action. I am still fishing mainly artificial and have not caught white bait however it is available.

The latter par of this week was spent early morning fishing on the low tides, for Lady Fish, small Sea Trout, and Spanish Mackerel. We fished open water deep flats near the passes in Pine Island sound with 1/4ounce jigs and plastics, for near non stop every cast action. Incoming tides I switched to some shallow water flats and caught redfish and large Gator Trout as they transitioned back on to the flats. Attacking troughs and potholes with hard suspending twitch baits and weed less jerk baits.

King Mackerel are migrating North, albeit a few weeks late, it falls in line with some great weather. There are Blue runners, my kingfish bait of choice, just offshore and can be caught using sabki rigs. Free lined with a skirt, over hard bottom, in the 50 foot depth range is a sure bet.

I still have a few openings left for tarpon fishing, it is limited and you should call for availability. I have 4 days left in May and June has about 10 openings. I suspect I will be catching tarpon any day now and also have a few openings in April. When tarpon fishing in April I typically can mix the trip up with some other action if requested.
