Write a comment...Scott Hughes Started out of Marco Island yesterday. Water temps in the mid 50's. Worked various areas south toward Everglades City. Landed several keeper redfish, speckled trout, sheephead a bunch of ladyfish and a small snook. All fish were caught with shrimp and jig.

Fort Myers Fishing Forecast:

With cold weather moving in, look for the fish to move to deer water. Speckled trout are now in season so now is a good time to go out and get a nice mess of fish for the frying pan.

Target Species:

Specks, reds, snook and sheephead

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.
